EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War at the Salonika Front, as British troops from a Labour Battalion diligently work to drain the marshes of Danbabali. The year was 1917, and the soldiers were engaged in a crucial mission to prevent the spread of malaria among their ranks. Malaria was a major health concern for troops stationed in the marshy regions of Greece, and the laborious task of digging ditches and draining the soil was essential to their survival. The soldiers in this image are seen wearing helmets and wading through the muddy waters, their faces etched with determination and focus. They work in unison, using their spades to dig deep into the marshy earth, channeling the water into the newly formed ditches. The soil, rich with nutrients, is piled up alongside the ditches, waiting to be removed. The importance of this task cannot be overstated. Malaria was a debilitating disease that could render soldiers unable to fight, and in some cases, even lead to death. By draining the marshes, the British troops were not only protecting their own health but also ensuring the overall success of the Salonika Campaign. The scene is reminiscent of the Sisyphean labors of ancient Greek mythology, with the soldiers toiling away at the seemingly endless task of draining the marshes. Yet, their resolve remains unbroken, as they continue to dig, determined to make a difference in the fight against malaria and the ongoing war effort.
