The 9th Infantry Division was a formation of the Ottoman Turkish Army, during the Balkan Wars, and the First World War.
Gallipoli Campaign
editTwo thirds of the 19th Division were Syrians under Colonel Mustafa Kemal (Kemal Atatürk).[1][2][3] The struggle formed the basis for the Turkish War of Independence and the declaration of the Republic of Turkey eight years later. "Two thirds of the troops who made up his (colonel Mustafa Kemal) 19th Division that faced the first wave of the Allied invasion were Syrian Arabs, comprising the 72nd and 77th regiments of the Ottoman army", according to Bill Sellars, Australian writer and historian.[4]
