Ali Başhampa was a Tunesian Turk who became the 2nd president of Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa after Süleyman Askeri Bey was send to Irak. His grave was in the garden of the Tekke of Yahya Efendi at Beşiktaş in Istanbul. His remains were taken to Tunis in 1962 at a request of Habib Burgiba who was also a member of the organization. He died on Oct 31st 1918.

Teşekkürler
Very strange coincidence.

Oct 30 official recognition of defeat and armistice.
Nov 1 The three leaders of the empire escape.

And he, the head of the organization responsible for resisting the occupation, chooses to die of natural causes the day in between?
