Turgut was Alp of Ertugrul. Turgut Alp was the first Chief of Army Staff of the Ottoman Empire who conquered Anadolu, the first city of the Ottoman Empire at the age of 99. Turgut Alp has fought wars together with four generations of the empire Ertugrul's most grandson. Turgut also accompanied his son and grandson after Ertugrul's death.
Turgut used axes instead of swords in battle. He has used seven axes in his life, which are in the Military Museum in Istanbul Turkey these days.
At the age of 125, while conquering a fort, he was martyred while holding an ax in his hand and was irrigating the sandy ground with blood flowing from his chest. May Allah grant him a high position in the Holy Paradise. Amen
Turgut Alp Died with his legendary battle-axe in his hand
