EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos and hardships of the Allied camp in Thessaloniki, Greece during World War I. In 1915, a large Allied expeditionary force, including French troops, landed at Thessaloniki as the base for operations against pro-German Bulgaria. The camp, as depicted on this postcard, was a bustling hub of activity with soldiers from various nations living and working in close quarters. Unfortunately, the old town of Thessaloniki was destroyed by a devastating fire on August 18, 1917, accidentally sparked by French soldiers in the encampments at the city. The fire left an estimated 72,000 people homeless, many of them Turkish, in a population of approximately 271,157 at the time. This postcard was sent in October 1917 by a French soldier based at the camp, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers stationed there. The image of musicians playing in the camp is a poignant reminder of the human spirit that endured even in the midst of the hardships of war. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonika or Salonica, was a major port city in the Mediterranean and a melting pot of cultures. The city had a rich history, and the fire destroyed many of its historic landmarks, including the Rotunda of Galerius, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This postcard is a fascinating historical artifact that offers insights into a pivotal moment in the history of Thessaloniki and the broader context of World War I. It serves as a reminder of the human impact of war and the resilience of the human spirit.
