EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a sense of determination and resilience shines through in this evocative image of Greek workmen spreading mud on a British field hospital marquee in Salonika, Greece. Circa 1916-1917, during a time when the Allied Powers were engaged in the Salonika Campaign against the Central Powers, the importance of camouflaging military installations from enemy aircraft became increasingly crucial. In this photograph, we witness a group of Greek laborers diligently spreading mud over the exterior of a large, white hospital marquee. The rain-soaked ground beneath their feet and the wet, heavy clay they are using to cover the fabric are testament to the arduous conditions they face. The hospital, a temporary medical facility established to treat the wounded soldiers, is a vital component of the war effort, and protecting it from enemy observation is essential. The scene is a poignant reminder of the global nature of the conflict, with British and Greek personnel working together to ensure the safety and well-being of those in need of medical care. The image also underscores the tenacity and adaptability of those on the front lines, as they find creative ways to protect their installations and continue their vital work in the face of adversity. This photograph, taken in the city now known as Thessaloniki, offers a glimpse into the challenging realities of war time, and the collective efforts of the Allied Powers to maintain their presence and advance their cause in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of the First World War.
