EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures French General Henri-Philippe Pétain's second-in-command, General Paul-Emile Félix Sarrail, descending the steps of the French warship Provence in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1915. Sarrail, a key figure in the Allied intervention in the Balkans during World War I, is seen here making his way towards the Saint-Louis, another French warship anchored in the Mediterranean port city. The Provence, a modern cruiser, served as Sarrail's flagship during the Salonika campaign. The image portrays the general's determination and resolve as he leads the Allied forces in their efforts to support Greece and Serbia against the Central Powers. The steam ships in the background and the bustling activity on the dockside underscore the urgency and intensity of the conflict. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the pivotal role France played in the Mediterranean theater of World War I and the crucial part General Sarrail played in the Allied campaign in Thessaloniki.
