EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British military during World War I as they worked to conceal a hospital camp from enemy bombers in Salonika, Greece, in 1916. In the foreground, soldiers are seen spreading mud on the hospital marquee, covering it in a thick layer to blend in with the surrounding terrain and make it a less obvious target from the air. The use of camouflage was a crucial tactic during the conflict, particularly in the Dardanelles campaign, where the threat of aerial bombardment was ever-present. The hospital camp, with its numerous tents and medical equipment, would have been an inviting target for enemy planes, and the application of mud was a simple yet effective way to hide its presence. The scene is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of war and the lengths to which soldiers and medical personnel went to protect the wounded and sick from further harm. The image also speaks to the larger historical context of the war, a time of innovation and adaptation in military strategy and technology.
