Förlagets beskrivning
The First World War in the Balkans In late 1915, an Anglo-French military expedition was dispatched to the Balkans to assist the outnumbered Serbian Army's efforts as it struggled against superior invading Austro-German-Bulgar forces. Although the First World War was mainly disputed on the Western and Eastern Fronts, several 'side-show' campaigns were also fought across the globe. Even among those often forgotten conflicts, the 'Salonika Campaign' is among the least chronicled. Nonetheless it was a bitter conflict undertaken among inhospitable mountains in often harsh weather. The Allied Force was eventually compelled to withdraw into Greece. This book concerns those events from the perspective of a young officer of the Tenth (Irish) Division serving with a draft of the Dorsetshire Regiment to reinforce a battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers that had come from the reverse at the Dardanelles. The text is drawn partly from the authors recollections and partly from his letters. This edition of the text contains photographs that were not included in the book when it was originally published. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket
