EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two esteemed generals, Maurice Camille Bailloud of the French Army's 156th Division and Sir Bryan Mahon of the British Army, engage in a deep conversation during the First World War. The scene unfolds in the city of Salonika, now known as Thessaloniki in Greece, in February 1916. The trio includes Lord Granard, the 8th Earl of Granard, who stands to the left with his hands folded behind his back. Lord Granard, then serving as Commander of the 5th Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment, appears attentively watching the exchange between the two military leaders. The image captures the essence of the camaraderie and collaboration between Allied forces during the war. General Bailloud, a seasoned French military officer born in 1847, wears his distinctive uniform adorned with numerous medals and insignia. His calm demeanor and focused gaze convey his military expertise and experience. Sir Bryan Mahon, born in 1862, is a British Army lieutenant general who had previously served in the Second Boer War and the Boxer Rebellion. His impressive military career continued during the First World War, where he played a significant role in the Salonika campaign. The trio's intense conversation, set against the backdrop of the war-torn city, underscores the importance of diplomacy and coordination between Allied forces during this pivotal moment in history. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unity and determination displayed by the international community during the First World War.
