- Title:
- The development of the military strength of Turkey. [Translated from the "International Revue" for November 1893 and "Die Reichswehr" for February 1894.]
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains three extracts from German papers, translated and commented on by Captain Offley Bohun Stovin Fairless Shore in 1894, detailing the latest up-to-date information on the armed strength of Turkey at the time.
The extract from the International Revue for November 1893, discusses press underestimation of Tukey's military system, covering the Artillery Reorganisation Programme of 1886-87, the subdivision of the empire into territorial zones, military reform, mobilisation arrangements, armament, cavalry, and regiment organisation.
In contrast, two extracts from Die Reichswehr discuss the incompleteness of the existing Turkish military preparations. Die Reichswehr dated 11 February 1894 covers the distribution (dislocation) of troops, unsatisfactory armament, and lack of training for officers. Die Reichswehr dated 21 March 1894 breaks down the dislocation of the Turkish army, and covers the lack of armaments, and of cavalry and artillery horses.
