EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the momentous British landing at Salonika on October 5th, 1915. The first British troops arriving in Greece with the noble intention of aiding Serbia during World War I. However, their expedition was met with fierce resistance from Bulgarian forces and ultimately ended in failure.
The image depicts a pivotal moment in history as British soldiers disembark onto Greek soil, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead. The determination and bravery of these troops are palpable as they set foot in Salonika, fully committed to their mission despite the odds stacked against them.
As we reflect on this significant event from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice during one of the darkest periods in human history. The legacy of these brave men lives on through images like this one, which serve as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience displayed by our ancestors.
Let us honor the memory of those who participated in this ill-fated expedition by preserving their stories for future generations to learn from and appreciate. May we never forget the lessons taught by history or take for granted the freedoms that were hard-won by such valiant individuals.
