The Centennial Inheritance

Meryem Hanım, the wife of Kemik Ali, was compelled to relocate to Istanbul amidst the Balkan War while residing in Edirne. On July 6, 1913, she penned a missive to the Ottoman Red Crescent Society with the objective of soliciting information regarding the welfare and whereabouts of her three sons serving as soldiers, inquiring into whether they were alive or incarcerated.
