Nureddin Pasha

Nureddin Ibrahim Pasha, known as Nureddin İbrahim Konyar since 1934 and often called Bearded Nureddin, was a Turkish military officer who served in the Ottoman Army during World War I and in the Turkish Army during the Western Front of the Turkish War of Independence. To distinguish him from namesakes, he was called Beard Nureddin because he was the only high-ranking Turkish officer during the Turkish War of Independence sporting a beard. He is known as one of the most important commanders of the War.
