EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene during the capture of Monastir, now known as Bitola, in Macedonia, during the First World War. Dated circa November 1916, the image portrays a bustling townscape filled with soldiers from various allied forces making their way through the streets. The soldiers, with determined expressions, march forward, while civilians look on from the safety of their balconies, their faces a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and relief. The streets are lined with people, many of whom are dressed in traditional Macedonian attire, adding a sense of timelessness to the scene. The soldiers' uniforms and weapons, as well as the occasional horse-drawn cart, serve as stark reminders of the ongoing conflict. The capture of Monastir was a significant event in the Macedonian front of the First World War, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the town during this tumultuous time. The Great War had a profound impact on the people of Monastir and Macedonia as a whole, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the human stories that unfolded during this period of history.
