EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a significant moment during World War One. Amidst the chaos and hardships of war, a much-needed respite was provided to our brave Allied troops stationed in Salonika - an enchanting circus spectacle. The image captures the essence of joy and escapism as soldiers gather under vast open skies, eagerly anticipating an evening filled with laughter and wonderment. The specially constructed outdoor arena stands proudly, its grandeur contrasting against the ruggedness of military life. Animals play their part too; horses gracefully prance around the ring while adding an element of elegance to this extraordinary event. Their presence symbolizes strength and unity amidst adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, humanity's desire for entertainment remains unyielding. It showcases how artistry transcends boundaries, bringing people together regardless of nationality or rank. As we reflect on history through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us honor those who organized such moments of respite for our courageous servicemen - reminding them that they were not forgotten amidst their selfless sacrifice on foreign soil.
