During this period large numbers of British and allied troops were tied up in the strategically vital Balkans. Salonika was converted into a vast military base and over 70 miles of defensive works were created.We learn of the disappointments of the British XII Corps offensive in April/May 1917 (The First Battle of Doiran) and the more successful aggressive raiding in the Struma Valley.Using first hand accounts a vivid picture of life for the British Army isMacedoniaHistory1912-1945MacedoniaForeign relationsGreat BritainGreat BritainForeign relationsMacedonia940.426Wakefield Alan1811972Moody Simon1811973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974849603321Under the devil's eye4364173UNINA
