EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the remnants of the Ekshisu Railway Bridge, located 20 miles southeast of Monastir, near Lake Ostrovo in Macedonia. The bridge, a crucial transport infrastructure during the First World War, was severely damaged during the Battle of Kajmakchalan between Bulgarian and Serbian troops in October 1916. The Great War raged on, leaving its indelible mark on the landscape. The once sturdy tracks and rails of the Monastir railway now lie in ruins, a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war. The serene waters of Lake Ostrovo in the background contrast sharply with the destruction wrought upon the bridge, adding to the sense of disquiet and desolation. The Battle of Kajmakchalan was a significant engagement on the Macedonian Front, with both sides suffering heavy losses. This photograph, taken by Robert Hunt, offers a poignant glimpse into the past, providing a visual testament to the destructive power of war and the enduring resilience of nature." (253 words)
