The Turkish nation had many martyrs and veterans during World War I, which caused the end of the existence of the Ottoman State, and during The National Struggle, which paved the way for the existence of the Republic of Türkiye. In Western Anatolia, where Bilecik is located, the National Struggle was fought against Greece. Due to the conditions of the time, families were able to identify their martyrs and veterans only in the following years. The martyrs and veterans who are the subject of the study were seen throughout the Ottoman geography of the period. Bilecik, like other Anatolian provinces, was included in the National Struggle to save Anatolia from occupation after the large geography lost in the First World War. In the examination carried out in this direction, in order to determine martyrdom and veteran status in the Bilecik Civil Court of First Instance; It was determined that a total of thirty two cases were concluded in four years, ten in 1931, nine in 1932, three in 1933, and ten before the end of 1935. As it takes up too much space to be included in one study, a total of thirty-three cases relating to the subject in 1934, 1936, 1937, 1939 and 1940 are examined in another study.
