Light Horse reports always given the Turkish Horseman as wearing these types of hats which they think look like Arab head dress.

This is why numbers of arabs (civians) get shot or taken up in LH patrols.

Poor Arap are suffering since that time. Since the Turk returned home there is no peace at Iraq and Palastine. (:
