Life and register readings

MUHAMMED RAVHİ EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1879/80 (AH 1297). Work began in 1895/96, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, places MUHAMMED RAVHİ in Baghdad (Bağdat) as Telgraf mülazımı, where the entries run to 1900/01. At the same time, from 1900 to 1905, the lists also place MUHAMMED RAVHİ in a post with no place named as Telgraf ve posta muhabere memuru. Next came Karbala (Kerbela) from 1905 to 1907. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Mandali as Telgraf ve posta merkezi müdürü.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 600 in 1905/06, in Karbala, when 64 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
