Sgt Stripes Posted 6 September , 2022 Share Posted 6 September , 2022 Very little information is known about the 11th Macedonian Regiment but here is a postcard showing the officers of the Regiment. Middle Row Left to Right are colonial LLIEV, Major General KIURKCHIEV, Major General ZLATAREV, Colonial NAUMOV and Colonial VENEDIKOV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenbecker Posted 6 September , 2022 Share Posted 6 September , 2022 Mate, What drew my attention was the few men with an Ottoman War Medal My Bulgar is not the best, but who are these officers who are wearing them? I'll have to check to see where they interacted with Ottoman units on the Macedon Front. S.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Stripes Posted 7 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 7 September , 2022 Sorry Steve I only know the names of the middle row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenbecker Posted 7 September , 2022 Share Posted 7 September , 2022 Mate, I notice that this is not the 11th Regt, but the 11th Division The names are for the 11th Macedon Div that fought us in the Dorian. (Major General KIURKCHIEV, Major General ZLATAREV) Funny thing this Division was raised for the Balkan Wars, fighting against the Ottomans, and now fighting with the Ottoman.

Sgt Stripes Posted 19 September , 2022 Author Share Posted 19 September , 2022 Many thanks for adding the missing names on the postcard. I never thought when I posted the photograph somehow would be able to add names to faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
