EDITORS COMMENTS
December 1915: A Moment of Respite Amidst the Chaos of the Retreat to Albania Amidst the harsh winter of 1915, the Serbian forces faced an arduous retreat through the Albanian mountains in the face of the relentless Bulgarian advance during the First World War. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the human spirit of compassion and care shone through, as evidenced in this poignant photograph. At the heart of this scene is Mabel Ann Stobart Greenhalgh, a British nurse and social reformer, who had led a flying field hospital to the Serbian front line on behalf of the Serbian Relief Fund. With her medical team, she provided essential care to the wounded soldiers, often under the most challenging of conditions. In this moment, the weary group takes a brief respite from their arduous journey, huddled around a fire in the Albanian mountains. The serene expression on Mabel's face, her hands folded in her lap, speaks volumes about her unwavering dedication to her cause and her tireless efforts to bring relief to those in need. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the medical team, who risked their lives to provide care to the wounded soldiers during the retreat. It also serves as a reminder of the humanitarian efforts that unfolded during the First World War and the importance of compassion and care in the face of adversity. This image, captured in the annals of history, offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served on the front lines and the vital role that relief organizations played in providing aid to those in need during times of war.
