Mates,
During the fighting around Kut during June July 1915, British records keep mentioning a Turkish General name Nur ed Din in command.
He is first mentioned after the death of LtCol Süleyman Askeri Bey 38th Div
But my records are not sure on who commanded at that time as the 38th Div was a shadow of its formed self after heavy fighting between Nov 1914 to Shaiba April 1915.
I do show these commanders
LtCol Ali Bey (formed commander 2xBns Fire Bde Regt) 4-15
Col Nurettin Bey (Sakalli) 5-15)
Refik Bey 6-15?
Could Nur ed din be Col Nurettin Bey (Sakalli)?
Any ideas
