Mates,

Another name that shows up with Ottoman units is Tevfik Bey

And it appears this was a comman name in Turkish.

While I can never claim to have all of them here are some in records;

Tevfik Bey - LtCol 55th Regt 1917-18
Tevfik Bey - Maj 10th Res Cav Regt Karaköse
Tevfik Bey - Maj 47th Regt - KIA 7-8-15 at Lone Pine or is he
Ahmet Tevfik Bey - Maj 16th Div KIA
Tevfik Bey - Maj CofS 26th Div
Tevfik Bey - Maj CofS Kerha (Cavalry) Group 4-15
Tevfik Bey - Maj Mestagi region Azerbaijan Corps (Army of Islam)
Tevfik Bey - Capt Ops officer Yildirim Army Group
Tevfik Bey - Capt Staff Southern Group Gallipoli July 1915
Tevfik Bey (Biyiklioglu) - Capt CofS 50th Div & Maj Ops officer Islamic Army of Caucasus 1918
Tevfik Bey - LtCol CofS to Osman Nizami pasa military governor of Romania
Mehmet Tevfik Bey - Maj 29th Regt
Ali Tevfik Bey - Capt 3Bn (8th Heavy Arty Regt) 1915
Mustafa Tevfik Bey - No details
Tevfik Efendi - Lt Yaver took part in the German mission to Afghanistan in 1916
Ahmet Tevfik Pasha (Alpsoy) - Col 45th Div & Brig Gen 7th Corps

Tevfik Bey - Col 47th Div

Tosun,

Thank you for putting a face to these men.

Do you know a date when Erzurumlu Tevfik Bey - LtCol 99th Regt was killed

The 99th Regt saw hard fighting in the Caucasus 1914-15 and many battles?

I did notice his sister Regt commander was killed LtCol Hodja Ismail Efendi 97th Regt KIA 21-2-15

Do you know if these are the same man but if different a date when Ahmet Tevfik Efendi 12th Company 57th Regt was killed?

Ahmet (Ahmed) Tevfik Bey 47th Regt - KIA 7-8-15 at Lone Pine Maj
Ahmet Tevfik Efendi 12th Company 57th Regt KIA at Gallipoli Lt from Karaman

Cheers

Hodja İsmail Efendi is my grandfather. He was not C of 97th Regt but imam of the regt. He was killed in Köprüköy while charging the Russians infront of his Regt. His military rank was LtCol.
:) I have his honourable name: İsmail Tosun Saral
