<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 219155, member: 54"]I must not have had my thinking cap on in other posts. Suddenly the fact that much of the Arabic-speaking world was part of the Ottoman Empire during WWI came back to me. So what other industrialized countries spoke Arabic in 1914? Turkey was the center of the Ottoman Empire, so I think it is very likely that the fuze would be considered Turkish. The Turkish Army was busy in other theaters during WWI, so the fuze isn't necessarily connected with Gallipoli.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
