EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Thessaloniki, Greece during World War I. The image shows members of the Serbian Army disembarking from a ship in the bustling port of Thessaloniki, circa 1915. At the time, Thessaloniki was a strategic city, serving as a base of operations for the Allied forces, including the Serbian Army, during the Macedonian Campaign. The First Balkan War had ended in 1913, leaving Thessaloniki under the control of Bulgaria. However, when Bulgaria attacked its former allies, Serbia and Greece, in the Second Balkan War, the city became a contested territory once again. The Allied powers, including Serbia, intervened, leading to the occupation of Thessaloniki and the establishment of an international force to maintain order in the region. The soldiers in the photograph, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their gear, are shown making their way down the gangplank and onto the dock, ready to begin their operations in the city. The busy port scene in the background, with other ships and activity, underscores the importance of Thessaloniki as a hub for military movement during the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into a significant moment in the history of Thessaloniki and the Balkan Wars, providing a window into the past and the role that the city played during a turbulent time in European history.
