EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment a company of British cyclists disembarks from a ship at Salonika's coast during the First World War on 2 December 1915. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their bicycles, make their way down the gangplank and onto the cobblestone quay. The men's determined expressions and focused gaze suggest the urgency of their mission, as they prepare to cycle inland towards the battlefront. The port of Salonika, now known as Thessaloniki in Greece, was a key strategic location for the Allied forces during the war. The use of bicycles as a means of transportation allowed the troops to cover greater distances more quickly and efficiently than on foot, making them an essential asset in the challenging terrain of the region. The image also reveals the intricate details of the port's infrastructure, with the tracks and rails leading away from the ship, and the buildings and structures in the background. The cyclists' bicycles, with their distinctive military markings, are neatly arranged on the quay, ready to be collected by the soldiers as they disembark. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the logistical operations of the British army during the First World War, and the vital role that cycling played in the movement of troops and supplies. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers, as they prepared to face the challenges of the battlefield.
