Mahmud Mukhtar Pasha

Mahmud Mukhtar Pasha (1867- ) was a Turkish soldier and diplomat, son of Grand Vizier Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha el Ghazi. He was born in Istanbul and returned there in 1893 after seven years' military education in Germany. He was a participant in the Græco-Turkish War of 1897, in spite of the prohibition of the Sultan. In 1910 he was Minister of Marine in Hakki Pasha's cabinet and brought about the building of the first Turkish dreadnought. At the outbreak of the Balkan War in 1912 he went to the front, commanded the Third Army Corps at Kırklareli, and was severely wounded. He wrote an account of his experiences in the Balkan War, of which a German and a French version appeared in 1913.
