'Shqiptare te armatosur ne Izmir - Turqi', me 1915 ?

There was some trouble because we were always crossing each other's lines. I talked to the Turks, one of whom pointed to the graves. "That's politics," he said. Then he pointed to the dead bodies, and said: "That's diplomacy. God pity all of us poor soldiers!"

Much of this business was ghastly to the point of nightmare. I found a hardened old Albanian chaoush and got him to do anything I wanted. Then a lot of other Albanians came up, and I said: "Tunya tyeta." I had met some of them in Janina. They began clapping me on the back and cheering while half a dozen funeral services were going on all round, conducted by the chaplains. I had to stop them. I asked them if they did not want an Imam for a service over their own dead, but the old Albanian pagan roared with laughter and said that their souls were all right. They could look after themselves. Not many signs of fanaticism ....

....I retired their troops and ours, walking along the line. At 4.7 I retired the white-flag men, making them shake hands with our men. Then I came to the upper end. About a dozen Turks came out. I chaffed them, and said that they would shoot me next day. They said, in a horrified chorus: "God forbid!" The Albanians laughed and cheered, and said: "We will never shoot you''.

Gjate nje armepushimi ne mes forcave Angleze dhe atyre Turke ne fushe te betejes per te varrosur ushtaret e rene nga te dyja palet gjate luftes se Dardaneleve (Galipolli)
Shkeputur nga ditari i luftes (http://www.gwpda.org/wwi-www/Mons/mons.htm#TC) te Aubrey Herbert, oficer ne ushtrine Britaneze gjate luftes se Dardaneleve, me 1915. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallipoli_Campaign)



Nuk dihet saktesisht numri i shqiptareve qe moren pjese ne lufte per mbrojtjen e tokes Turke me 1915 por mendohet se ky numer ishte shume i madh qe shkonte ne mijera vete. Shume prej te cileve edhe rane per lavdine e Turqise !

The Turks hurled themselves at the trenches and were mown down in their thousands. The General Staff watched this and still sent ANZAC troops out of the trenches in futile head-on charges. The massacre at the Nek being but one example. When you think of our dead don't forget the Turkish dead, many of whom were Arabs and Albanians as well
