My thanks go to Keith Edmonds for bringing this article to my attention. I am pleased to be able to remember British pilot, Joe Bamford, who went missing from the skies over Salonika 100 years ago today:

If you would like to see someone from the Salonika campaign remembered here, please get in touch.
