RE: 119. Today in 1920s Turkey: 19 October 1927 (A Souvenir of the Revolution)
a very good post, one of my paternal uncles (fathers brother) migrated to Turkey to participate in the war of independence, he died and is buried in Turkey .His name was Abdul Rehman Peshawari .
Wow, that's a high calling. Where did he migrate from? Do you know where he is buried?
He migrated from Peshawar, Pakistan and is buried in a grave yard near Intercontinental or Hilton hotel in Istambul.
That's fascinating! I'm familiar with that location. Have you had a chance to visit his grave ever? Was it common for people to leave Pakistan to fight in the Turkish War?
He was part of the
khilafat movement.I have not visited his grave but some of my family has, but we are planning to visit Turkey on our next holiday and another thing, this uncle of mine Abdul Rehman Peshawari was very close to the post War regime so much so that he was chosen as the Turkish ambassader to Afghanistan where he served for a couple of years.Is this him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdur_Rehman_Peshawri
