The personnel record dates the first work in Istanbul to 1908/09, after the first annual entry. The annual lists begin in 1891/92, with Mustafa Asım as 2. Ordu Askerî Telgraf Bölüğü gönüllüsü and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1896 to 1908. Mustafa Asım then moved to Istanbul from 1908 to 1910. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in Adapazarı as Hat seyyar memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Seyyar memuru.
