8th Turkish Corps

Mates,

Can you confirm some details on the 8th Corps?

Turkish sites show this Corps moved

Caucasus: 5/15-4/17

Mesopotamia: 2/15-1/17

Palestine: 3/18-10/18 (4th Army)

So far I have not found this to be fact?

reports place the 8th Corps in the 1st Canal Invasion 1915 before moving to Syria/Palestine 1915 to 1918 for the Battles there?

Its movement details don't show any move to either the Caucasus or Mesopotamia?

What is happening here?

Any ideas?

8th was always at Palestine. Never been at Caucasus and Irak. At Irak was 18th AC.
