The referenced source does not give any reference to works of Bill Sanders aside from a citation, so it cannot be claimed as a valid source. Only the 77th Regiment was formed in Aleppo (Halep) so even if all regiment was consisted of Arabs (which was unlikely due to the demographics of the city at the time built up from Turks/Turcomans, Kurds, Arabs, and Yazidis) it would only make up roughly 1/3 of the total manpower of the division.)
