Ottoman Mounted Gendarmerie

[Beast of Bukhara]

I have just finished painting up my unit of 10 Ottoman mounted provincial “Jandarma” circ 1916. Just in time for this weekends gaming. 

The painting guide was taken from the Chris Flaherty Ottoman Uniforms website.

This is an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in Ottoman Turkish 19th and 20th Century Uniforms. This work is really excellent and long may it continue. 

The figures are from the most excellent fellows Michael and Alan Perry. They are actually from the Sudan range but I have amended the headwear.  These are not the first Perry mins to make it into my Ottoman Army

I think maybe some Ottoman Naval types of maybe the famous Firemen Regt next
