Salonika 1915-1918: The British Way in Warfare
This talk by Alan Wakefield examines the way in which the British Salonika Force (BSF) under Lt General Sir George Milne conducted operations in Greece and Serbia during the First World War. The focus is on the way in which local factors such as terrain, climate and the threat of disease combined with the BSF's internal weaknesses resulted in very different military experiences for British soldiers serving on the four main sectors of the British front in Macedonia.
