EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of arrival for General Maurice-Paul-Emmanuel Sarrail (1856-1929) and his French admirals in Thessaloniki, Greece, in October 1915. As part of the Allied expeditionary force, the French Army of the Orient was dispatched to Thessaloniki to establish a base for operations against pro-German Bulgaria during World War I. This marked the beginning of the Macedonian or Salonika Front. The image shows Sarrail, resplendent in his military uniform, confidently leading his senior officers through the bustling streets of Thessaloniki, surrounded by an eager crowd of onlookers. The city's vibrant energy and the sense of anticipation are palpable as the Allied forces prepared to engage in a critical battle against the Central Powers. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of this moment in World War I, as the Allied forces sought to turn the tide against the German advance in the Balkans.
