Visit to the Battlefield of 1st and 2nd Inonu (Bozuyuk-Avgin-Kovalitsa)

 This Monday I had the chance with Onur and Nacho to visit the battlefield were the Battles of 1st Inonu/Bozuyuk and 2nd Inonu/Avgin-Kovalitsa took place during the 1919-1922 Greece-Turkey War (Asia Minor Campaign/Turkish War of Liberation).
