Dating back to the period between 1914 and 1918, these brave men were an integral part of the Ottoman army, which fought valiantly against invading forces during the Great War. The soldiers in this image are armed with a variety of weapons, including rifles and swords, reflecting the diverse range of tools used during this era of warfare. Their head dresses, adorned with intricate designs, add a distinctive cultural touch to their uniforms, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the Ottoman army.

This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. It is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the Kurdish soldiers, who, despite their diverse backgrounds, fought together as part of the Turkish army to defend their homeland.
