EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Surrey Yeomanry in action during the Struma Valley Front campaign in Salonika, Macedonia, during World War I. Taken by renowned war photographer Frank Algernon Stewart between 1917 and 1918, the image depicts A Squadron of the Surrey Yeomanry, a British cavalry regiment, breaking cover as they launch a raid on Jenimah. The horses and riders are poised and ready, their expressions focused and determined. The Surrey Yeomanry, part of the 1st Great War Mounted Division, played a significant role in the Salonika Campaign, which lasted from 1915 to 1918. The campaign was a complex and challenging theater of war, with a diverse range of terrain, including mountains, forests, and marshlands. The troops faced not only the harsh conditions but also the enemy, who included Bulgarian, German, and Ottoman forces. The photograph offers a unique insight into the life of the soldiers on the front line. The horses, an essential part of the cavalry's arsenal, are shown in their natural habitat, their coats glistening with sweat and their eyes bright with alertness. The riders, dressed in their uniforms, are a testament to their courage and resilience. Frank Algernon Stewart was a prolific war photographer who captured many pivotal moments during World War I. His work provides a valuable record of the war, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and the conditions they faced. This photograph of the Surrey Yeomanry on the Struma Valley Front is a powerful reminder of the bravery and determination of the British cavalry during the Salonika Campaign.
