EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for Allied soldiers during the harsh realities of the First World War. Taken in August 1916, the scene unfolds at a well in Salonika, Greece, a city that had become a major military hub for the Allied forces. In the image, Russian, Italian, and possibly French soldiers are seen collecting water from the well, using buckets to fill their canteens. The sun beats down on their weary faces, a stark reminder of the arid conditions they faced in this far-off land. The soldiers' uniforms are worn and faded, their expressions reflective of the long months of hardship and struggle. The image underscores the shared experience of war and the universal need for water, a basic necessity that transcends borders and allegiances. The well at Salonika became a symbol of unity among the Allied forces, a brief moment of camaraderie amid the chaos and uncertainty of war. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the human side of the First World War, reminding us of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the men and women who fought in this great conflict.
