I see a combination of British with Turkish (crescent moon and the Islamic* caligraphy) while the at the time of WWI the smallswords were long gone as real use, it implies a ceremonial/parade perhaps even a fraternal perspective.
Anywhere from the Crimeean War 1854-1856 to post WWI Kemal Ataturk Euro-reforms, interactions have existed in between the two powers.

*(yes, I did use the descriptive word ,, Islamic ,, as I believe using it at times just like ,, Indo-Persian,, it aint wrong being so vague)
