EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a moment in history during World War I, showing British soldiers stationed at the Greek port of Salonika receiving their daily ration of quinine. The image highlights the harsh realities faced by Allied troops at this fortified base, where disease was a significant problem.
The import of quinine was crucial during this time, as it was used to combat malaria and other illnesses that plagued the soldiers. The sight of these brave men lined up to receive their dose serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by those on the front lines. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of these troops, who continued to fight despite facing such difficult conditions.
As we reflect on this image from 1916, we are reminded of the importance of remembering and honoring those who have served in conflicts throughout history. This print serves as a tribute to all those who have sacrificed for their countries and sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of war - the battle against disease.
