Who Commanded the MG Company 27th Regt?

Mates,

Tosun has given a very good list of officers in the 27th Infantry Regt (9th Div) in April 1915, but does any account mention anyone from the MG Company attach to this Regt in particular the MG Officer?

Also if know, who commanded the MG Company in the Kemal's 57th Infantry Regt in April?

Did these men leave any accounts of their service during the war?

LtCol Mehmet Sefik (Aker) leaves a good account of the fighting in April but I don't see a name for the MG officer, any ideas?

Cheers

S.B

Mates,

Sorry on rereading Tosun's coments I se the officers were;

MG company:Captain Hamdi
- - officers : Lt. Halil, Officer cadet Saadet Efendis

Do we know any details on these officers?

Were they killed or wounded or what happened to them?

Do you know the names of the MG Company 57th Regts officers?

Thank you.

S.B

Mates,

Any luck in finding who commanded, and other officers of the 57th Regt MG Company at Anzac that first day?

Also any details on the lives of the three officers in the 27th MG Company?

Cheers

Tosun,

Nice bit to two brave men.

Capt Charles Edward Leer 3Bn KIA 25-4-15 at the landing.

Capt Halis (Ataksor) Efendi 3Bn/27th Regt (shown WIA 25-4-15)

Are you aware of what happened to the officers in the MG Company 27th Regt?

Also do you know who the Officers were in the 57th Regt MG Company?

There appears to be a bit of details you gave on the 27th Regt but little on the 57th Regt at the Landing under Kemal.

What I have on the 57th Regt;

57th - Maj Hüseyin Avni 4-15 to Hamli Bey KIA 13-8-15 to Maj Murat 9-15 to Maj Kadri

1bn - Capt Ahmet Zeko or (Zeki)
2bn - Capt Ata
3bn - Capt Hayri

MG Co ?

Cheers

S.B
