Mareşal Fevzi Çakmak (D 351)
	19k	Mustafa Fevzi was born on 12 January 1876 in Beykoz, Istanbul - part of the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey). After graduating from Kuleli military high school, he entered Pangalti military school on 29 June 1893. He completed the military school as the most successful student on December 25, 1898 and joined the Ottoman military as a Lieutenant. In 1918, at the age of 42, he became Minister of War and Commander of the Ottoman Army. In 1920, he followed Mustafa Kemal to Samsun, and supported him throughout the Turkish War of Independence. His support provided Mustafa Kemal with the full support of the Armed Forces, which was reduced to two armies in the aftermath of the disarmament dictated by the Treaty of Sèvres. These two armies were under the command of Kazim Karabekir on the Eastern Front based in Erzurum and Ali Fuat Cebesoy on the Western Front based in Ankara. Fevzi Çakmak was one of the few significant generals of the Turkish War of Independence. Fevzi Çakmak took control of the Army after the Turkish loss in Kutahya-Altintas under Ismet Inönü and was able to stop the retreat of the Turkish Army afterwards and beat the invading Greek Armies at the Battle of Sakarya on the outskirts of Ankara. Fevzi Çakmak and Mustafa Kemal planned and commanded the Battle of Dumlupinar, and on August 31, 1922, he was promoted to rank of Field Marshal (Turkish: Mareşal) along with Mustafa Kemal. They were and still are the only Field Marshals that the Turkish Republic has had up till now. Even today, an unspecified nickname Mareşal (Field Marshal) means Fevzi Çakmak. Before the establishment of the republic, he was the prime minister of the government of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey from 24 January 1921 until 09 July 1922. Fevzi Çakmak served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces from 03 March 1924 until his retirement on 12 January 1944. He died on 12 April 1950 and was laid to rest in Eyüp, Istanbul. He has a memorial burial place in the Turkish State Cemetery in Ankara.		Cüneyt Demir
