michaeldr Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 Harbiye or Nişantaşı – I think that's just about the same area https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0491318,28.9898505,562m/data=!3m1!1e3 Note that Open Bolt's suggestion of today's Military Museum/Askeri Müze is right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that these particular photographs belong to an earlier period when the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers belonged to the 28th Division? They left 28th Div in June 1918 - see http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-infantry-regiments-of-1914-1918/northumberland-fusiliers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eceabat Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 The building that served as GHQ show in this photo and in others from the collection still stands and is the present day Military Museum or Askeri Musesi in Istanbul, located in the suburb of Harbiye, which as Michael notes is next to Nisantasi. The building had previously served as an officer's school Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Maureen I see the photo on page 136 of the second file is the same as I put on my post 1, so they must be official photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8HANTS Posted 18 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 18 February , 2020 Time for some more photos, one apparently is of a group of senior British officers in mufti, having a beach banjo party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
