Alan in Thessaloniki … again!

SCS Chairman Alan Wakefield has just returned from giving a lecture on British strategy and the 1918 Balkan victory as part of a round table history discussion panel at the Teloglion Foundation in Thessaloniki.

Assisted by local SCS members, Alan also carried out a recce of ‘new’ sections of the Birdcage Line and of the attack by 13th Black Watch and 2nd Cameron Highlanders on Homondos in the Struma Valley. Both these locations will be included in forthcoming SCS tours during 2018.
