Turkish Infantrymen Resting on Knees
(Original Caption) 5/9/1940-Ankara, Turkey- With the spotlight of war showing indications of swinging towards the Eastern end of the Mediterranean, Turkey is beginning to feel the tension that has been the rule in other parts of Europe for the past half-year. The Turkish army is almost at full war strength and in the event of trouble probably would cooperate with the Allied army of the Near East. Above are Turkish infantryman, shown squatting in a strange position during a "fall-out" on a long march during recent war games

Definitely not an 88 my friend. It looks like a British QF 3-inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft gun to me but I'm not aware of Turkey buying any
