Lt to Col Nazim

Mates,

I notice in the Offical Turkish history of the Turkish General Staff, around page 72, a mention of a Lt Nazim shown as a skillfull Chief of Staff later commander of the 4th Div and martyr in the War of Inderpendence.

I could not find any record of him and wondered if I misspelled his name else where like;

Nazmi (Kurar) Staff officer 3rd Corps Capt

Naci (Tinaz) CofS 1st Corps & Chief of Operations - 3rd Corps 10-17 & CofS 3rd Corps & CofS 20th Corps & CofS 14th Corps Capt to Maj

Or did I just missed him?

Do you have any details on Lt later Col Nazim?

Cheers

S.B
