There is a mistake at wiki. Mustafa Kemal was not a captain he was a General Staff Major

We call Derne not Tobruk. General Staff Major Mustafa Kemal giving orders at Derne 1912 in front of local forces.

British sources call it Derna.

End of 1000 years rule of The World.
There is a Turkish saying " When the wolf grows old he becomes jester to the dogs"
