EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Christmas day in the midst of the harsh realities of war. Taken on December 25, 1915, in Salonika, Greece, British troops from the 26th Division Train take a break from their duties to enjoy a friendly game of football. The scene is set against the backdrop of a barren, rocky landscape, a stark reminder of the challenging conditions endured by the soldiers during their deployment in the Balkans during World War 1. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen engaged in the game with great enthusiasm and enjoyment. Some are in the midst of a scrum for the ball, while others cheer them on from the sidelines. British army officers, dressed in their distinctive red coats and peaked caps, join in the fun, demonstrating the camaraderie and unity that existed amongst the ranks. The image offers a rare glimpse into the leisure time of the soldiers during the war, and the importance of maintaining morale and maintaining a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos and hardships of the battlefield. The game of football, a popular sport in Britain, provided a much-needed distraction and a moment of respite for the troops. The photograph, taken in Thessaloniki, now known as Salonica or Salonika, was a major Allied military base during the First World War. The city was a hub of activity, with troops from various countries, including Britain, France, and Russia, stationed there. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and the resilience and determination of the soldiers to find joy and happiness even in the most challenging of circumstances.
