EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of troops passing through the bustling streets of Thessaloniki, Greece, in the early 1910s. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and armed with rifles, make their way through the town on mules, their faces focused and determined. The mules, with their heavy packs, plod along steadily, their heads down, as they carry the burden of the military supplies. In the background, a tram can be seen making its way along the tracks, adding to the sense of movement and activity in the scene. The train station looms in the distance, a testament to the city's modern infrastructure. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, was a major commercial hub and strategic military outpost in the Balkans during this period. The city's multicultural population included Greeks, Jews, Turks, and other ethnic groups, making it a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions. The exact army depicted in the photograph is not known, but it is clear that Thessaloniki was a regular stop for military forces passing through the region. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of military movement and urban life in Greece.
