dc.description.abstractSince the last quarter of the 19th century, military attachés, the specialised military staff of the British intelligence service, have been regularly reporting to the British Embassy in Istanbul. In the 1909 file, there are records of two critical events that remain a mystery in recent Turkish history. This article discusses the 31 March incident and the siege of Istanbul by the 3rd Army Corps through the British military attaché reports of 1909, published for the first time in Turkish literature at the National Archives in London, in the Foreign Office classification. The actions of the skirmisher (avcı) battalions that were sent to Istanbul after the proclamation of the constitutional monarchy as the guardians of the constitutional order, and which were among the elements that triggered the 31 March Incident, the siege of Istanbul by the 3rd Army Corps and the capture of the Istanbul, are vividly described in the reports of Colonel Herbert Conyers Surtees (1858-1933). In addition to providing important clues about the British perspective on the period, the way in which these events, which ended the thirty-three-year reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II and brought Mahmud Şevket Pasha and the Committee of Union and Progress to power, are treated in the reports also provides new information about both events. © Published by Ottoman Civilization Studies, İstanbul, Türkiye.en_US
