An interesting story about Kazakh soldiers (who were fighting for Russia) finding Ottoman soldiers in hiding:
"When one Turkish-held village fell to the Russians, a group
of sixty Ottoman soldiers took refuge in a hayloft. They were discovered by three Russian Muslim soldiers of a Kazak regiment who, after making the
Turks prove they were Muslim by showing their circumcised penises, left them in hiding. β€œBrothers, be quiet and wait here,” the Kazaks explained, β€œwe are leaving now.” Such fraternization between Muslim soldiers across battle lines met with Eti’s full approval."
- From "The Fall of the Ottoman Empire" pg 108
