1877-1878 Osmanlı Rus Savaşına Katılan Mısır Ordusu
Egyptian Troops participating the 1877-78 Turko-Russian War

Summary/Abstract: The 1877-78 Turko-Russian War, which the Ottoman state fought under very difficult circumstances, necessitated mobilization of all available sources. Meanwhile, Egypt provided an important military support. This war ended with Ottoman defeat due to generally lack of military force and equipment, and particularly to the very strategic mistakes. The Egyptian troops were accustomed of the hot clime of the south, and, thus, they were in great difficulty during the winter of the Northeast Balkans, where they were stationed. However, it is factual that they served good during the battles.
