Arabs of the WWI Ottoman Army

At least a quarter of the Ottoman army was of Arab stock, and most of them deserted if they could, rather than fight the Ottoman battles during WWI. The Arabs were hungry, maltreated and never paid, and they disappeared like water in the desert sands whenever they could see the chance.
