How to read this map

Connections join located entries in chronological stages; other recorded places stay in the text. Dashed connections pass intervening stages without a map position. They do not document a travel route or continuous service.

Entries within the same AH year are not ordered. Stages with more than one located locality remain unconnected; each source place stays visible.

1 entry without a resolved year

These entries remain outside the dated sequence. Their position in the life cannot be established from the recorded year field.

Gregorian spans accompany recorded AH years; they are year labels, not exact date conversions. Ages are calculated from AH year labels. Missing amounts remain unrecorded; zero remains zero.

Where the career is recorded

Distinct AH years with career entries
  1. 1903 to 1906 (AH 1321 to 1323)
  2. 1902 to 1908 (AH 1320 to 1325)
  3. 1905 to 1907 (AH 1323 to 1324)
  4. 1906 to 1908 (AH 1324 to 1325)
  5. 1903/04 (AH 1321)

Gaps do not count as service. One year can have entries in several places.

Amounts recorded by place

Kuruş · smallest to largest dated rate

Ranges retain different rates and source assertions. Retirement amounts are separate from post pay.

  2. 1907/08 (AH 1325)

The most recorded title wordings. A year may include more than one title; these counts do not establish promotions or continuous tenure.
