EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of The Gardens by the French School in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the First World War. The image, dating back to circa 1916, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers stationed in the region. The French School, now known as the Lycée Français de Thessalonique, stands proudly in the background, its grand architecture a stark contrast to the makeshift barracks and tents that house the 59th Regiment. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, can be seen relaxing in the gardens, taking a break from their duties. The tranquil setting, filled with lush greenery and blooming flowers, provides a momentary reprieve from the harsh realities of war. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, was a major military hub during the First World War. The city, located in northern Greece, served as a base for various Allied forces, including the French, British, and Russian armies. The gardens by the French School became a popular gathering place for soldiers, offering a brief respite from the rigors of military life. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a poignant moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the human side of war, where moments of peace and tranquility could be found amidst the chaos and turmoil. The Gardens by the French School in Thessaloniki stand as a testament to the enduring power of nature to bring solace and comfort, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
