EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Thessaloniki's Post Office during World War I, circa 1916. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, was a major Allied military and supply base during the war, attracting soldiers and civilians from various countries. In this image, we see a group of soldiers and civilians gathered around the postal counter, exchanging letters and telegrams with loved ones back home. The postal service played a crucial role in maintaining morale and communication during the long and arduous campaign in Macedonia. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and connection, as each letter or telegram delivered brought news and comfort from afar. The Post Office became a vital hub of communication and information, a lifeline to the outside world for the soldiers and civilians alike. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human stories and emotions that underpinned the larger events of the war, and the enduring power of communication to bridge distances and connect people, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
