Kemal,” on an off-white 6 x 9.5 sheet hand-embellished with a calligraphic title and postage stamp of the Turkish leader. In fine condition. Ataturk was given the title of “Gazi” by the Grand National Assembly following his defeat of the Greeks in the Greco-Turkish War, which secured the independence of Turkey.
