Abstract enDespite his independence, the desire for an endless expansion of Greece was renewed after the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877-1878, and despite taking Teselia and Arta in 1881, he did not give up his wishes. The most common way they applied for this purpose was to provoke the Ottoman subjects, the Greeks, against the state. Receiving measures were not enough to suppress the rebellions and Greece did take steps in 1897, bringing the Turkish-Greek War. When Ottoman mobilization was declared for war, a large part of the army was composed of Redif battalions and there were also Trabzon battalions in these battalions. The Redif forces, which were battalions of Samsun, Ordu, Ünye, Fatsa Tirebolu, Görele, Giresun, Büyükliman, Trabzon, Sürmene, Maçka, Of, Rize, Mapavri, Arhavi and Gümüşhane battalions had come to the forefront with their courage and usefulness in battle. On the turn of the battalions, there was a great happiness in the vilayet, and there were ceremonies of widespread reception, bearing the symbolic traces of the understanding of the period. This study deals with the roles, losses and return ceremonies of the Trabzon Redif Battles in 1897 Turkish-Greek War. The work focuses on the symbolic meaning of the functions of the Trabzon Redif Battles in the Greek War and the ceremonies of the surrender in the context of the archival documents, the provincial newspaper, period resources and research works.
