Mates,
I notice the names of two Ottoman Officers mentioned by the German Muhlmann when on Staff with the Southern Group at Helles under Weber.
Wolf's Book shows the names as Col Salvi and Col Sahir (page 149 & 150)
This was after the attacks by the 9th and 7th Ottoman Divisions around Kerever Dere (2nd Krithia) 6-8-May 1915
Of cause this maybe the names being misspelled by this German of Ottoman names?
I can find no officers commanding Regts by those names?
The names of all Regt officers are shown in Erickson's book (Gallipoli Campaign) page 212
7th Div Regts
19th Regt LtCol Sabri
21st Regt LtCol Halil
45th Regt LtColRefik
46th Regt LtCol Mahmut
127th Regt LtCol Hasan
9th Div
25th Regt LtCol Irfan
26th Regt LtCol Kadri
20th Regt LtCol Halit
15th Div
39th Regt Mak Kazim
So who are they or could they be?

Mates,
Yes it looks like the mistake was by the German officer, who makes a number of mistakes of Ottoman names in his account?
Col Salvi and Col Sahir
Possibly Sabri and Kadri
Cheers
