Faces of Salonika : Frank Whitehead, 13/Manchesters

My thanks go to  Caroline Booth and Joseph Travis for sharing with us their fascinating and detailed blog – A Year of War – about their grandfather/great-grandfather, Frank Whitehead, who served in Salonika in 1918. Frank served with 13/Manchesters, which was in 22nd Division, 66th Brigade on the Doiran Front.

Andy's interest in the campaign comes from his grandfather, Arthur, who served in Salonika as a sapper with the Royal Engineers from 1916-1918. Opinions expressed in these posts are personal and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Society.

  1. Hi, I was interested in the sketch that has been drawn showing the British front line in green in key features and what appears to be sectors. We are trying to locate where a relative died, The battalion diary states that the East Lancs (9th) relieved the 8th K.S.L.I on the 28th of Feb 2018, the day of his death, and the dates correspond with the blog. My question is whether there would have been other sector twos running back towards the lake, or is this likely to be the location? Just on the edge of La Tortue? If anyone can help, that would be great, we are visiting in September.
