Does anyone know of any good sources, books etc that covers the uniforms and organizations of the Egyptian-Ottoman wars of the 1830's and 1840's? |

Thanks abc – I have previously visited said site and it is useful but one of the few useful resources out there. |

Do you read German, Egyptian Arab, or Turkish? |

I can read German. None of the others I am afraid. |

Not so much that I have a direction, but I have Turkish historian friends who might be able to help |

Hi For a good background to the Syrian Wars I recommend Virginia Askan's "Ottoman Wars 1700 – 1870" and for details of the Second Syrian War (1838-1839) Letitia Ufford's "The Pasha, How Mehmed Ali defied the West". I've also got a list of referewnces in French and German (unfortunately most of them long out of print). If it will help, I've drafted up a short description of the Ottoman and Egyptian armies of the Second Syrian War and a rough orbat for Nisib (1839). Nick |
