Captured at Gaza
While not stated in the original album, it is suspected that these Turkish prisoners were captured during the 1st Battle of Gaza, 26-27 March 1917. Note the footwear of the soldier in the foreground - it is typical of that worn in Anatolia and the Balkans called a Charik which was made of cow skin. The above part was called Dolak (Puttee).
