Specification
Austro-Hungarian Empire: WW1 patriotic cap 
badge for the support of the Turkish Troops in 
Galicia (XV Imperial Ottoman Army Corps). 
Maker marked by Gurschner in Vienna.
The Ottoman XV Army Corps was formed in 1915. 
During WW1 the XV Corps participated initially in  
the defense of Gallipoli (1915) while later on it was 
deployed to the Eastern Front and fought against 
the Russian Army (Brusilov's Offensive, Galicia).
During the operations on the Eastern Front, the 
XV Corps sustained overall losses of around 
25.000 men and inflicted well over 72.000 
casualties on the opposing Russian forces. 
In early 1917 the XV Coprs was redeployed to 
Palestine and later (1918) to Syria, Anatolia and 
Caucasus.
German General Erich von Falkenhayn claimed 
in his memoirs, regarding the performance of 
the XV Corps on the Eastern Front, that the 
Turks were "an uncommonly valuable asset to 
the Southern Army".
A scarce cap badge.
