I was hoping Levend would post this. Captain Dimitroyati was a Turkish Greek from Istanbul served with 57th Regiment in Gallipoli. That is the regiment that changed the future of a nation. They were ordered to die so that the enemy could be hold until the reinforcements arrive. Die, they did. Forgetten, they were not.

Captain Dimitroyati loved his country and went to fight for her. He also loved his country's men and died with them. When he was mortally wounded and was taken to a field hospital, his last words to a sergent from his regiment were the following:
"Do not! Sergent Ali, you would tell that I'm non-muslim, you would burry me to a different place. Do not seperate me from you!". Before leaving for the battle, Sergent Ali had the attending soldier promise to pass Cpt. Dimitroyati's last words to the higher officers. Today Captain Dimitroyati's name lies side by side with his comrades at 57th Regiment Memorial.

They were from all over the country and they died for their country. Rest in peace and god bless all of you.

As Levend did in his original post, I dedicate this picture to the people with identity issues:

Something that i have to respect is...That Turkey never forgetts heros indeed...
