Smile Trophy belt

A nice belt, but I don't think it is one from the Gallipoli campaign as this is an Imperial German belt with what appears to be two Russian badges on it.

Very nice pickup and some interesting badges on the belt.Would be hard to say if he served on Gallipoli but you never know but Middle East more likely.Any name or markings on the back of the belt and could you show a couple of photos of the back please.

Thanks

Couple of very nice badges there. The 2nd MG Company one is really hard to find and the 5th Light Horse badge is also quite scarce.

A superb item. Are not the "Russian" badges actually Turkish? And were there not German officers and specialist "trainers" serving with the Turkish Army at that time? Mike

Definitely Turkish! Hence the crescent in the badge!
