    Hmm, what goes on with Nafziger's order of battles collection?
    It looks that links to his OOB collection is broken here.

    Many thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    You pose a very good question. There does seem to be a real glitch with the website or the material has been moved elsewhere. A less satisfactory way to get to the OOBs is via http://usacac.leavenworth.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/nafziger.htm where you can download a list of all of the OOBs & then insert the appropriate reference number into the search Nafziger Box, and hit return, which will bring up that particular OOB.

    Nafziger Orders of Battle link (http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/nafziger/index.asp) still appears to be down and no news of when it might be up. But the good news is that some kind soul has packed the nearly 8,000 items together by century which makes the OOBs so much easier to download. The link to this resource is http://www.alternatewars.com/CARL/Nafgizer_CARL.htm

    "Military Costume of Turkey" is downloadable as a pdf from google books. The illustrations are from life and it has full supporting text. It was produced in 1818 and depicts uniforms circa 1812. http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/The_Military_costume_of_Turkey.html?id=098GAAAAQAAJ&redir_esc=y
