Salonika recommended!

My thanks go to David Gallon for sharing a letter from today’s Daily Telegraph, alerting readers to the delights of visiting northern Greece and – in particular- sites associated with the Macedonian campaign.

For the sake of international harmony we should, of course, mention the part played by the French – key players in the allied army – and also the Italians!

The best way to see the area is, of course, on a Salonika Campaign Society tour with knowledgeable and experienced guides and you will find plenty of details on this website:

And for details of the beautiful and well-cared cemeteries, visit the website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission:

Robin's interest in the campaign comes from his grandfather, Fred, who served as a cyclist with the BSF from 1915 to 1917, mainly in the Struma valley where he caught malaria and dysentery. Robin joined the SCS in 2003 and served on the committee for 18 years as journal and then web editor. Opinions expressed in these posts are his and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Society.
