Birindji ferik

(Redirected from Fariq 'awal)

Birinci ferik or ferik-i evvel (corresponding to the earlier Ottoman rank of Serdar) was a military rank of the Ottoman Army. The title means "First Ferik" and was senior to a Ferik and junior only to the Müşir (equivalent to Field Marshal).

The collar mark (later shoulder mark) and cap (until 1933) of a Birinci Ferik had three stripes and three stars during the early years of the Turkish Republic.

The rank of Birinci Ferik was renamed to Korgeneral in 1935 with the "Turkification" of the rank names.[1]
