Great photos! One question: What colour was the Turkish Army field uniform pictured? Was it sort of a grey-green, or more of a light brown like in World War I? And they wore the Adrian helmet, correct? Sorry, that's two questions.

Also, did they have a lightweight cotton summer uniform in addition to the wool, or in extra-hot weather did they simply go in shirtsleeve order with the wool trousers and the undershirt instead of the tunic?

Dear Billy sorry to answer your question late: enlisted soldiers had one color uniform : Feldgrau (fieldgray) But the officers had two uniforms. feldgrau at barracks and darkgreen at outdoors. The winter uniform was made of hard wool because Turkey is very cold in winter. Sommer uniforms were made up from light cotton. The pictures in this forum are showing soldiers in sommer uniforms. I add extra images for better understending.

Nota Bene: images are from my collection.

Where do you learned Turkish? Nice to hear it. Kendime iyi bakiyorum. Merak etme.

Wow!!! Great pictures!!! Thanks Tosun and thanks for explaining about the wool and cotton uniforms. So i take it that the enlisted mens' wool and cotton uniforms were both feldgrau then, correct? Oh, as for speaking Turkish, i wish i knew more but i only know a few words, and that i have learned from a woman in Istanbul with whom i am chatting on msn messenger, she teaches me some here and there. Thanks again, great pictures and information.

Hi Tosum, the magazines, do they by any chance have artillery pictures?
Cheers,
