4th Edition, Autumn 2023

Introduction 

This, the 4th release of the Salonika Campaign Bibliography, has been compiled for the Salonika Campaign Society by Keith Roberts with help from other members of the SCS and of The Great War Forum and is shared without charge for anyone interested in the campaign. The Society is very grateful to Keith for his work in compiling and maintaining the bibliograpy. Our thanks too to all those that have helped Keith in his work.

New in this release: This year Keith has included as many relevant army unit histories as possible, although some volumes have only brief campaign related content. A member of the Great War Forum has pointed out a special collection of 419 digitised books hosted by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. This includes the only known digitised versions of many titles, and a small number of which we were unaware. The collection also has a substantial number of titles about the campaign written in French, and Greek. For readers of either language it is surely well worth a visit.

One gem from the collection, now added to the bibliography is a booklet Salonika Again published in 1952 describing a return visit made by two of the stalwarts of the Salonika Reunion Association who among other places, visited the 3rd gymnasium School for Boys in Salonika, and the village of Mavroplagia which had both been adopted and supported by the Salonika Reunion Association.

Starting with this release, Keith will be adding articles from academic and military journals. These will be added at the foot of the page, below a bold division and there are just four entries there in this release, but we expect many more in the future.

Notes about the bibliography

• To the best of the compiler’s ability, entries have been validated by reference to Worldcat.org, or to original or reprinted copies.
• The Notes against titles have been assembled from various sources.
• The names in the author’s column where titles are included for the first time have been italicised.
• The compiler would welcome both suggested amendments to the current notes, and brief copy for the titles without notes.
