EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as Russian soldiers, freshly arrived at the Allied encampment in the Greek port city of Salonika, march towards the Balkan front in December 1916. The image, taken at Thessaloniki, now known as Thessaloniki or Thessalonica, shows the determination and resolve of these soldiers as they prepare to join the fight against the Central Powers. The Russian army had been transported to Greece as part of an Allied effort to support the Balkan states against the advancing Austro-Hungarian and German forces. The soldiers, dressed in heavy winter uniforms, are seen carrying their equipment and weapons, their faces set with focus and determination. The scene is set against the backdrop of the port, with ships and the Aegean Sea visible in the distance. This photograph, which was taken by an unknown photographer and is part of the Illustrated London News collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the experiences of the Russian soldiers during the First World War. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and the important role that Greece played in the conflict. The soldiers' journey from their arrival in Salonika to the Balkan front would have been a long and arduous one, filled with uncertainty and danger. The image captures a moment of solidarity and camaraderie among the soldiers as they prepare to face the challenges ahead. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the soldiers and the importance of the Allied effort in the Balkans during the First World War.
