On the Eastern Front - In Salonika, August 20, 1917 - refugee camp on the Champ de Mars
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph that captures the harsh realities of displacement and the human cost of war. The image, taken during the Salonika Campaign of the First World War, depicts a group of civilians huddled together in a makeshift refugee camp in the main square of Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece. The scene is set against the backdrop of a barren, rocky landscape, with the ruins of buildings and debris scattered around the camp. The refugees, many of them carrying their belongings, appear weary and despondent, their faces etched with the signs of hardship and suffering. The photograph is a stark reminder of the millions of people who were forced to flee their homes during the First World War, and the challenges they faced in finding safety and security in unfamiliar and often hostile environments. The photograph is believed to have been published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a French publication. The image provides a valuable historical record of the Salonika Campaign, which took place on the Eastern Front of the First World War and involved the participation of French, British, and Greek forces. The campaign is also known as the Macedonian Front or the Salonika Front, and lasted from October 1915 to November 1918. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the human impact of war and the importance of recognizing and addressing the needs of displaced people. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of civilians who, despite the hardships they faced, continued to hold on to hope and the belief that they would eventually find a better future. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the stories and memories of the past.
