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 is 607 $aMacedonia$xHistory$y1912-1945 607 $aMacedonia$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zMacedonia 676 $a940.426 700 $aWakefield$b Alan$01602679 701 $aMoody$b Simon$01602680 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820688203321 996 $aUnder the devil's eye$93926710 997 $aUNINA
