Lot Details

Description

Scene & Historical Context: The legendary lieutenant colonel costume is a winter officer uniform with a fur collar. This costume symbolizes the meeting between Mustafa Kemal and the 19th Division and the 57th Regiment at Yerçeşme, Tekirdağ, on February 2, 1915. The 57th Regiment, consisting of problematic soldiers as depicted in the film, played a significant role within the 19th Division. In the final scene of the film, this costume is remembered for its special significance and powerful message, as Mustafa Kemal removes his fur-lined garment and swears in his soldiers with the question, "Will you march with me?" It is an iconic costume that stands out in the film.

Costume Details: This sophisticated attire reflects the grandeur of Ottoman officers, as depicted in the movie. The elegant gray coat with its double-breasted design and gold buttons signifies authority and nobility. A vivid red collar adds a bold contrast, while the flowing cape exudes power. Paired with a traditional black hat and leather boots, this ensemble embodies the dignity and leadership of Ottoman command.
