Sureya Bey, Commander of the Camel Corps
Sureya Bey, Commander of the Camel Corps
Hello, I am interested in the Ottoman officer Sureya Bey, a commander of the Ottoman Imperial Camel Corps. Who is Sureya Bey on this picture below (and the other seated gentlemen)? Are there also other pictures of Sureya Bey and if yes, where can I find them? What was the cause of Sureya Bey´s death? Are there any further infomations about his origins (home town, family etc.)? Thank you and I hope you can help me..

Re: Sureya Bey, Commander of the Camel Corps
Mate,
Its my understanding that Sureyya Bey is;
Süreyya Efendi (3) Camel (Hecin) Regt - 2Co Capt KIA 23-4-16 battle of Katya
reports place the 2nd Company Camel (hecin) with the Katia attack force, also killed
Halet Efendi (3) Camel (Hecin) Regt - 2Co Lt KIA 23-4-16 battle of Katya
Yakup Robenson Efendi (3) Camel (Hecin) Regt - 2Co Lt KIA 23-4-16 battle of Katya
Memduh Efendi (3) Camel (Hecin) Regt - 2Co Lt KIA 23-4-16 battle of Katya
Some reports place Capt Sirri Bey (3) Camel (Hecin) Regt as company commander, that does not explain Capt Sureyya Efendi with the 2nd Company?
So some of those men maybe these officers in the photo
Sorry I have no details on Süreyya Efendi, like where he came from or other details.
While I also have other officers so named;
Sureyya Bey aid to Ahmed Djemal or Ahmet Cemal or Cemel Pasha Lt murdered with Cemel Pasha and his Aid Lt Nusret Bey (reported killed by Armenian assassins or Georgian secret police at Tbilisi on 21 July 1922
Sureyya Bey 186th Regt LtCol
Sureyya Tahsin Aygun Medical General Doctor
M.Süreyya (Serter) Medical Doctor
Süreyya Bey Airforce LtCol
Süreyya Efendi 57th Regt 9Co Lt KIA 1915 from Karamürsel
Purhaps our friend Tosun may be able to sort them out
Cheers

Mate,
Lt Robenson was one of three brothers in the Ottoman Army. They were from a British family that converted to islam.
So he was not Jewish that I know of?
As to the Jews under the Ottoman system.
While I can not claim to be an authority in this area, we find there mentioned in documents.
First, many jews were conscripted into the Ottoman Army, but numbers and where they served is mixed?
IN Palestine many jews were placed into labor units to work, while there was some crack down on Jewish settlements, particularly where they were involved in spy work against the Ottomans, most lived as they did in the past hundreds of years.
Some Jewish writes claim they (Ottomans) were heavy handed against their (Jewish) people, while others say they were not?
You may need to look at the sources to see what's about.

Re: Sureya Bey, Commander of the Camel Corps
Mates,
I don't know if you are aware but this German officer met his death with the officers and men of the Camel Riders during the Katya action 23 April 1916.
Kress in his book mentions the Adjt of the Flieger Abteilung 300 (Pascha or Jasta 300) when the force attack the Romani Area in April they had the Commander and his Adjt with it (as Jatsa 300 was at El Arish at that time).
During the fighting Kress said that OberLt Heinrich Soyter, the Bavarian Adjt, mounted of a Cavalry Camel, took command of the Camel Sqn and joined the attack and fell shot to the head.
