One of the Unknown Heroes of the National Struggle Imam’s Husnu from Ordu

Summary/Abstract: The War of Independence was a life and death struggle for the Turkish nation. Despite all the deprivations and impossibilities, this war was won with a national spirit and the Republic of Turkey was established. The War of Independence is the national struggle of the Turkish nation. In this national struggle, everyone, regardless of whether they are men, women, young or old, has a contribution. Thousands of martyrs were given in the national struggle. Most of those who went to the front did not return, they did not receive any news. Those who waited behind have waited for years for the day they would return. What those who returned in this expectation told about those who did not come has always been hope. One of our martyrs who did not return is Imam’s Hüsnü from Ordu. For years, no news has been heard from Imam’s Husnu, and what a friend of the Imam’s friend, who went to the army with him, has told. Imam’s Hüsnü was born in the village of Yukarıkızilen in the Ulubey district of Ordu. According to what is told about him, he fell to the ground in the prime of his life in the Battle of Sakarya in 1921, during the struggle with the Greeks around Haymana. His grave is unknown. His daughter, whom he left in the cradle while going to war, died at the age of eighty-three. His grandchildren live in Düzce. Information about Imam's Husni is limited to what those who went to the army with him and returned. The life stories of our national struggle and all our martyrs are very important for our national unity and solidarity. In this study, Imam's Hüsnü, whose life and his actions in the war became legendary, was researched and the stories about him were compiled and tried to be matched with historical records.
