He did tell me that the Turks were the toughest men he had ever met
I've always heard the Turks were blown out of proportion. Otherworldly stories about them, almost legend and too good to be true. But in reality they weren't very good at being soldiers, more of a liability than asset.
Anyone know more about this?
