EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Prince Andrew of Greece, dressed in full military uniform, stands proudly next to his wife, Princess Alice, during a moment of respite from the intense battlefield of Sakaria. The year was 1913, and Prince Andrew, who held the command of the Greek Second Army Corps, was leading his troops against the Bulgarian forces. However, this moment of triumph would be short-lived for the royal couple. Prince Andrew was later accused of disobeying a crucial order during the Battle of Sakaria, an allegation that would have significant consequences for the Greek royal family. The Prince's refusal to withdraw his troops from the front line, as instructed by his superiors, resulted in heavy casualties and a potential turning point in the war. Consequently, Prince Andrew was banished from Greece, forced to leave his homeland and his people behind. The image captures a poignant moment in history, as the Prince and his wife, Princess Alice, prepare to embark on an uncertain future in exile. They boarded H.M.S. Calypso, a British warship, and sailed away from their beloved Greece, leaving behind their family, friends, and the life they had known. The sentence against Prince Andrew was eventually quashed in 1936, but the damage had already been done. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by the Greek royal family during a tumultuous period in their history.
