EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant image from the First World War era, this photograph captures a French heavy-gun battery making its way uphill through lines of barbed wire on the Macedonian border in October 1916. The scene unfolds on the Balkan front, where the Allied army, based in the Greek port of Salonika, was engaged in fierce fighting against the Bulgarian army who had joined the Central Powers in the invasion of Serbia in December 1915. The French soldiers, determined and focused, carry their heavy artillery pieces up the steep incline, their progress impeded only by the barbed wire entanglements that crisscross the landscape. The image is a testament to the tenacity and resilience of the Allied forces, who faced numerous challenges in their efforts to push back against the Bulgarian advance. The photograph, taken in October 1916, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare on the Macedonian front. The soldiers are dressed in heavy winter coats, their faces etched with the fatigue and grit of battle. The barren, rocky terrain is dotted with the remnants of destroyed buildings and trees, a reminder of the devastation wrought by the conflict. This powerful image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on all sides during the First World War. It also underscores the historical significance of the Salonika front, which is often overlooked in the broader narrative of the war. Today, the site of this historic battle is a reminder of the complex geopolitical dynamics that shaped Europe in the early 20th century and the enduring impact of war on the lives of ordinary people.
