Cemal Granda (born Ali Cemalettin; 1910 – 1978) was a Turkish servant and memoirist, best known for working as the chief waiter in Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s household from 1927 until Atatürk’s death in 1938.[1] His recollections, first serialised in 1959 and later published as Atatürk'ün Uşağının Gizli Defteri (The Secret Diary of Atatürk's Butler, 1971), are frequently cited by historians and journalists for the intimate perspective they provide on Turkey’s first president.[2]
