EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the devastating aftermath of the French 75th Division's bombardment of Salonika, also known as Thessaloniki or Thessalonica, during the Mediterranean Campaign of World War I. The image, taken in the vicinity of Doiran, showcases the extensive damage inflicted upon the city's residential areas. The once-proud buildings now lie in ruins, their remnants reduced to piles of rubble and debris. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the testimony it provides to the intense military conflict that unfolded in this region during 1917. The French 75th Division, renowned for its powerful artillery, unleashed a barrage of shells upon Salonika as part of the larger Allied offensive against the Bulgarian and Ottoman forces. The devastation depicted in this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost and destruction wrought by war. The ruins of these buildings stand as a testament to the indelible mark left on the city's landscape and its people, a legacy that continues to resonate with us today as we reflect upon the history of this pivotal campaign in the Mediterranean theatre of World War I.
