EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and unity among the Allied forces stationed in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the Christmas season of 1916. The historic grouping of soldiers represents the multinational and international nature of the Allied forces, which had established a base in Thessaloniki as the operational hub against pro-German Bulgaria. The Macedonian or Salonika Front, which ended the conflict in this region, saw the participation of British, French, French colonial troops from West Africa, Annamites from Vietnam, Zouaves, Greeks, and Indians. The diverse representation of soldiers from various colonies and countries underscores the global reach and cooperation of the Allied forces during World War I. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the shared history and common goals that brought these soldiers together in the face of adversity. Dated 1916, this image offers a unique glimpse into the rich history of the Allied forces' deployment and the establishment of the Macedonian Front.
