Awhile back I was gathering figures for a WWI project (Palestine in 20mm / 1/72nd)) and I bought some Turks made by either IT or Tumbling Dice that the seller described as "Arab on top". I guessed and hoped they were Arab troops wearing traditional head gear and Central Powers uniforms, but no. They are wearing Arabic headwear and Central Powers uniforms, but also a long, open robe. My best guess is that they are "undercover" Turks helping the Senussi. Any ideas as to what these guys are supposed to represent? |

Probably something from "Lawrence of Arabia"? |

If they are armed with .303s then perhaps regulars of the Sharifian army?

Never mind, they are definitely Sanussis:

Thank you, Colonel. Now to decide if they're bound for the melting pot or the painting bench. |

They would make good Basmachi for the Russian Civil War. |
