EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bay of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the First World War, circa 1910s. The image bears witness to the significant military presence of the Allied forces, who had established control over the strategic port city. The serene waters of the bay are dotted with various naval vessels, including warships and transports, anchored in the harbor. The ancient walls of Thessaloniki, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be seen in the background, standing as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the city. The Bay of Thessaloniki was a crucial point of entry for Allied troops and supplies during the war, making it a focal point of military activity. The image offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing history of this region during a pivotal moment in world history. The Bay of Thessaloniki, with its ancient walls and modern naval fleet, serves as a powerful reminder of the intersection of the past and present, and the enduring importance of this city and its waters.
