Voor wat info over het salonika front;
| Quote: | | In October 1915 a combined Franco-British force of some two large brigades was landed at Salonika (today called Thessalonika) at the request of the Greek Prime Minister. The objective was to help the Serbs in their fight against Bulgarian aggression. But the expedition arrived too late, the Serbs having been beaten before they landed. It was decided to keep the force in place for future operations, even against Greek opposition. The Greek Chief of the General Staff in Athens had told them " You will be driven into the sea, and you will not have time even to cry for mercy" (Some Greek factions, including King Constantine, were pro-German). The outcome of the Gallipoli campaign was in the balance and most shipping in the area was involved so they really had no choice. In December 1915 the British element fought a battle at Kosturino, north of Lake Doiran, after withdrawing from Serbia. After this there was little action except for occasional air-raids on Salonika. |

The Salonika Campaign
The railway from the strategically important port city of Salonika (Thessaloniki) in northern Greece to Belgrade via Skopje (Uskub) offered a direct route to embattled Serbia. In September 1915, with Bulgaria mobilising for an attack on Serbia, Britain and France accepted an offer from the pro-Entente Greek prime minister Eleutherios (Elephferios) Venizelos to land troops at Salonika. The force at Salonika was initially composed of Anglo-French units, many of which had come from Gallipoli. It was reinforced by the Serbian army in exile on Corfu, Italians and a small Russian contingent. It remained until the war’s end.
The force landed on 5 October 1915, the same day that the pro-German Greek king, Constantine I – who was married to the Kaiser’s sister – forced Venizelos to resign. On 6 October 1915, the Central Powers invaded Serbia. Anglo-French units at Salonika pushed north up the Vardar (Axios) river valley to help the Serbs. It was too little, too late. The Serbs retreated through Albania to the Adriatic coast while the Salonika force retired back to the city. Bulgarian and German forces (with some Turkish units) then gathered along the Greek– Serbian and Greek–Bulgarian borders, while the Greek army, supposedly neutral, handed Greece’s Fort Ruppel, which commanded the Struma (Strimón) valley, to the Bulgarians (26 May 1916). In response to these threats, the supreme commander at Salonika, the French general Maurice Sarrail, transformed the city into a fortress surrounded by fieldwork defences. He took full control of the city from the Greeks in mid-1916, establishing the city as an alternative centre for pro-Entente Greek forces and politicians, a policy that embroiled the garrison in internal Greek politics.

Ik zat nog even wat te googelen over het Salonika Battlefield en vond deze sites :
Zij hebben een cd met kaarten voor £49.50
| Quote: | | The Salonika Campaign Society is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting CD of maps from the Salonika campaign. If you buy this CD not only will you receive excellent digital copies of 74 fascinating and, in some cases, very rare maps (see the Catalogue for details and Sample Maps), you will also get articles and documents on military map making and surveying, a collection of contemporary colour images of the Salonika front, and will be contributing to keeping alive the memory of the men and women who served with the BSF. All profits from the sale of this CD will go to the HQ House and Doiran Museum projects (go to the PROJECTS link, above). |
Er is ook nog een andere cd te vinden, voor £9:
Trench-maps on CD-ROM The Other Theatres
(Gallipoli, Italy, Salonika/Macedonia, Mesopotamia, Palestine)
| Quote: | CD-ROM containing high resolution images of complete French and British trench maps, trench sketches and extracts.
Covering the areas of some of the so-called 'sideshow' campaigns, there are separate sections covering Gallipoli, Italy , Palestine , Mesopotamia and Salonika/Macedonia.* In scales of 1:5,000 to 1:40,000 (and more) some of the extracts are from the much sought after "secret" editions and are extremely scarce. Dates range between the Spring of 1915 and mid 1918.
* maps available for Palestine and Mesopotamia are from British sources only. The Gallipoli, Italy and Salonika/Macedonia sections also contain a good selection of French trenchmaps. |
Verder zag ik dat de Holt's een Battlefieldtour organiseren :
En ik heb ook nog een lijstje met interessante boeken :
Under the Devil's Eye: The British Military Experience in Macedonia 1915-18
The Gardeners of Salonika: The Macedonian Campaign 1915–1918
Forgotten Battlefronts of the First World War

Momenteel bezig in de Reichsarchiv delen over Macedonie en hoewel deze weinig objectief zijn veel interessants aan het weten gekomen over dit voor mij tamelijk onbekende frontdeel.
Zo dacht ik bijvoorbeeld tot voor kort dat Griekenland zelf niet had meegevochten |
