Re: Ottoman officers 1914

The took part on the band of Ethem the Circassian who fought with his irregular troops againts the greeks. Mustafa Kemal Pasha wanted reorganize the Turkish army and asked Ethem and Eşref Bey and their irregulars join the army. They refused and refuged to the Greeks. For that reason he was expelled from turkish citizenship . A general pardon was issued in 1938 and returned to Turkey.

Re: Ottoman officers 1914
Tosun,
Thank you, very interesting
Ali Rusen (Alb) LtCol last seen in fighting around Jerusalem near Nabi Samuel in which the British broke throw the Ottoman defences.
I did wonder if he shows a name (Alb) possibly because he was Albanian if he was lost (killed) at a village called Gib around 20 Nov 1917
