Cemal Mersinli (1875 – October 7, 1941), also known as Mehmed Djemal Pasha, Mersinli Djemal, or Djemal Kuchuk (Turkish: Küçük Cemal Paşa; meaning the lesser Djemal to distinguish him from the higher-ranking Djemal Pasha) was a general of the Ottoman and Turkish armies and a politician of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey.[1]
During the Arab Revolt, he led Ottoman forces in an attack on Wadi Musa on 21 Oct. 1917. The Ottoman forces were defeated by forces under the command of Mawlud Mukhlis, Faisal's aide-de-camp. He later participated in the Turkish War of Independence where he joined the forces of Atatürk. He was a prominent politician of the Turkish Republic until his death in 1941.[2] [3]
