EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in Greek history as soldiers from the city of Volos, Greece, prepare to depart for the front lines during the Second Balkan War of June and August 1913. The image, taken on Rue Demetriados, a bustling street in Volos, shows a column of Greek soldiers in uniform, each carrying their equipment and weapons, as they march off to face the Bulgarian army. The Second Balkan War was a complex conflict that arose from the instability following the First Balkan War, which had seen the Balkan states successfully drive the Ottoman Turks out of European territories. In the Second Balkan War, Greece, Serbia, and Romania found themselves at odds with Bulgaria over territorial disputes. The soldiers in this photograph, with determined expressions and steady gaits, embody the courage and resilience of the Greek people during this tumultuous time. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of civilians lining the streets, waving flags and offering support to the troops as they pass. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and uncertainty, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during times of conflict. This photograph, taken circa 1913, is a poignant and powerful reminder of a significant moment in Greek history and the bravery of its people during the Second Balkan War.
