Mate,

The Turkish site gives this;

When the World War broke out, he was first sent to Gallipoli, where he fought against the French and then, in 1915, he became was promoted to Colonel and went to Iraq, where he was the Chief of Staff of the German General Colmar von der Goltz. In 1916, he was the commander of the XVIII Corps that captured Kut al-Amara from the British and the next year, when he was appointed to the command of the II Corps stationed in Diyarbakır, he was also the acting commander of the Second Army. In this capacity, in 1918, he recaptured Erzurum and Erzincan from the Armenians and the invading Russian forces. He took his troops to Azerbaijan and forced the British units out of this region. The same year he was made a general.

I have he was Chief of Operations to Goltz not CofS?

Kazim Pasa (Karabekir)

1st Expeditionary Force (known as Kazim Bey Div) later known as 51st Div 12-14 &
Chief of Operations 6th Army 9-15 &
commander 18th Corps 4-16 &
commander 2nd Corps 4-17 &
commander 1st Caucasus Corps 1-18 to 10-18

I don't see him at Gallipoli fighting the French, as the 1st Expeditionary Force was sent to the area of Van in early 1915.

But when he became Chief of Operations 6th Army, I am unsure, but I would have thought around Sept 1915 as Col Mehmet Ali Bey took command 51st Div Sept 1915 KIA 30-11-15 at Selabiha ?

You could be right mate, Wikipedia is not that trustable as it seems, he was commanding the Eastern Army so I will correct myself.
