Thanks for the flag up, it's a neglected theatre.

Yes, it is very much a neglected theatre of war. It is good to have the support of John Bourne at the Centre for First World Studies to put on such a study day. The Salonika Campaign Society, of which I am currently Chairman, also keeps interest alive and still has links with sister organisations in France, Greece and Serbia.

i have just purchased "letters from No. 4 canadian general Hospital" by J J Mckenzie these are all from the Salonika Front.

regards John

Alan,
Will there be any publication coming out of it that could be purchased? I'm concentrating on that theater right now in regard to the unit I am studying and am always looking for new input.
