Hauptmann, later Generalmajor Werner von Frankenberg zu Proschlitz, commander of the German Asien- or Levante-Korps during WW1 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Korps).

We were soldiers once...and young.

Brief German Wikipedia entry on Frankenberg: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_von_Frankenberg_und_Proschlitz "Werner Ernst Viktor Egbert von Frankenberg und Proschlitz (* 11. Oktober 1868 in Stettin; † 30. März 1933 in Berlin) war ein preußischer Generalmajor." Djemal Pacha, aka Djemal Pasha, Cemal Paşa was a key figure in the Ottoman empire in the early 20th Century, part of a triumvirate that ruled the empire during WWI. He also headed a number of Ottoman military campaigns, and was implicated in the Armenian Genocide. He was assassinated in 1922 as part of a campaign to kill those deemed responsible for the Armenian Genocide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djemal_Pasha In his memoirs, readable online, he defended himself against these charges. archive.org/details/memoriesofturkis00cemarich

Ismail Djenani (notice spelling without "h") is mentioned in quite a few Google books. For example, books.google.com/books?id=1s8oAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA868 where he is listed as a director of the National Bank of Turkey. Bey after the name is the Turkish form of address equivalent to Mr. in English or -san in Japanese. At this time, Turks would have used arabic script, and so any name in latin script will be a transliteration.

Thanks for your research, swanq, and the clarification of the salutation "Bey." We'll add the corrected spelling of the name to the record the next time we update.

armenian genocide ? what is that?

From Wikipedia The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Turkish: Ermeni Soykırımı), also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, the Great Calamity —refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide) of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was characterised by the use of massacres, and the use of deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of Armenian deaths generally held to have been between one and one-and-a-half million.[1] Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Empire during this period, including Assyrians, Greeks, and Kurdish people and some scholars consider the events to be part of the same policy of extermination.[2]
