EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous arrival of Allied troops at Thessaloniki, Greece, in the early 1910s during World War I. The city's harbor, bustling with activity, serves as the backdrop for the historic event as soldiers and sailors disembark from ships and trains, bringing with them the promise of relief and resistance against the pro-German forces of Bulgaria. The establishment of the Macedonian or Salonika Front marked a significant turning point in the war, with the Allied forces eventually prevailing in the region. The image is filled with a palpable sense of anticipation and determination, as the soldiers, many clad in heavy armor, prepare to embark on their mission. The quayside, lined with ships and military vehicles, serves as a testament to the immense logistical effort required to support the Allied expeditionary force. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into history, providing a visual record of a pivotal moment in the Great War and the brave men and women who fought to protect the Mediterranean from the threat of enemy occupation.
