The Prussian Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Hello! I recieved this wonderful photo! We see a group of german soldiers in Turkey. In the text a "Türkenbatterie" is mentioned. What about the helmet-band? It seems to be red (that would be cavalry - IF the colours haven´t been changed...) I´d like to know if the unit was from the german-military-mission or from the asian-corps. What could the unit stamp be? I only can read "Kospoli" (another name for Konstantinopel) Thanx a lot!

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Can the 1st word on the astamp be Ersatz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 I´m not sure, Chris, but I think, it might be large letter. It could be an E or an F. To me it seems like an "Fü"ö. Something with "Führung"??? I still need a list of all units that served with the military mission. I haven´t found a list until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I seem to remember the Reichsarchive volume "Yilderim" had a break down of the units in one of the loose flyers at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) No, Yildirim only shows the battle order of Pascha I and Pascha II since late 1916/1917. I try to get the battle orders of the military mission. That was a different unit. Pascha I and II were active combat troops to fight in Palestine. The military mission supported the ottoman army in engeneer, artillery, medic, forteresses and support matters.
