Soldateska was included in the 1976 Al Khamsa Directory (and the subsequent 1983 Al Khamsa Arabians) on a provisional basis, without extended pedigree, because of proposed acceptance by the Blue Catalog at that time. Al Khamsa's first attempt at publishing an extended pedigree for Soldateska is published in Al Khamsa Arabians II (1993). Over the last ten years, the source material for this pedigree has been examined in more detail and errors in source attribution cleared up. New sources of information have been published or located. This additional research, conducted over the last several years, has found nothing to impugn the authenticity of her documentation and credentials. Therefore, Soldateska has been 1) removed from "provisional" status and 2) added to the official Roster of AK horses.

Soldateska was the dam of 10 foals bred by the Weil-Marbach stud farm. (The Royal Stud at Weil became a State Stud, transferred to Marbach in 1932.) Soldateska's only otherwise Al Khamsa-eligible progeny was her daughter, Jatta, foaled in 1933 by the stallion Jasir, a full brother to the Babson imports *Fadl and *Maaroufa, bred by Prince Mohamed Aly of Egypt. Jatta's only otherwise Al Khamsa-eligible descent was her daughter, Sahmet, foaled in 1957 by the stallion Hadban Enzahi (Nazeer/Kamla), bred by the RAS/EAO of Egypt. Sahmet was the dam of 15 foals bred by Marbach, most by Al Khamsa eligible stallions imported to Germany from Egypt (Ghazal, her sire Hadban Enzahi, and Gharib). In North America, the Soldateska line is represented by two offspring of Sahmet's son by Ghazal, *KEM Safir by Hadban Enzahi.
