Salonika(Salonica), Thessalonika, Greece
Tree: AHP
Notes:
In October 1915 the first British troops landed at the Greek port of
Salonika (now Thessaloniki) from Gallipoli and France. The British
Salonika Force (BSF) fought alongside French, Greek, Italian, Russian
and Serbian contingents. British and French colonial troops from the
Indian subcontinent, Africa, and Indochina also took part. Of a total
allied force of around 600,000 men the BSF numbered 220,000 men at its
peak strength. War Office reluctance to support the campaign led to a
gradual decline in numbers and, until April 1917, the front was
relatively quiet. The major effort came in September 1918 as part of
all-encompassing allied offensives, which led to the end of hostilities
with Bulgaria on 30 September 1918. As well as battle casualties, the
force suffered severely from malaria, there being about 160,000
admissions to hospital in three years, almost equal to the fighting
strength of the force. The health of many men was permanently ruined.
