EDITORS COMMENTS
Mule-Driven British Limbers Near Daudli, North of Salonika, July 1, 1916 This evocative photograph captures the dry and dusty landscape of northern Greece during the First World War. The image, taken on July 1, 1916, near Daudli, north of Salonika (now Thessaloniki), depicts a group of British soldiers and mules harnessed to limbers, preparing for the arduous task of transporting supplies to the front lines. The limbers, with their large, wooden wheels, are hitched to the mules, their heads bowed and ears pricked, as they wait for the command to move out. The soldiers, dressed in their khaki uniforms and armed with rifles, stand nearby, their faces etched with the strain and fatigue of war. The sun beats down mercilessly, casting long shadows across the parched ground. Dust rises in clouds with each step taken by the mules, making the air thick and hazy. The scene is a testament to the challenging conditions faced by the British Army during the Salonika Campaign of the First World War. The rugged terrain, extreme heat, and lack of infrastructure made transportation a significant challenge, making the mules and their limbers an essential component of the British war effort in this remote and inhospitable region.
