Hi Peter,Peter H wrote:The postwar veteran's association of the Asienkorps was the Bund der Asienkämpfer.This association included veterans with service in the Ottoman Empire,the Balkans,and the Orient.
The association published around 20 magazines with veteran accounts,memoirs between 1919 and 1938.
Although most German troops in the Ottoman Empire wore either standard German field grey or Ottoman khaki uniforms (see German and Ottoman Uniforms Page), the 1917 Pascha II Expedition (often known as the "Asienkorps") was issued khaki tropical uniforms.

Peter, do you by any chance have Max Simon Eberhard's document? Or have any idea how I can track it down?Peter H wrote:Max Simon-Eberhard's memoirs Mit dem Asienkorps zur Palästinafront,1919,should also be noted.
Simon-Eberhard was an artillery Hauptmann in Turkey and later moved to Shanghai in 1932.He established the German newspaper the Deutsche Shanghai Zeitung in Shanghai,considered later as a pro-Nazi rag.
Simon(he changed his name to Simon-Eberhard after the war) served with Feldartillerie-Abteilung Nr.701.
