EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of leisure and camaraderie among Indian troops during the First World War, as they engage in a wrestling match atop mules in Salonika, Greece, in 1916. The image showcases a group of soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, skillfully maneuvering their mules as they grapple with each other in the dusty arena. The raw strength and determination of the wrestlers are evident as they focus intently on their opponents, their expressions a mix of concentration and determination. The backdrop of the rugged terrain and makeshift wooden stands adds to the authenticity of the scene, while the spectators in the background watch with rapt attention, some cheering and clapping in support. The use of mules as makeshift mounts for the wrestling match is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the troops, who found creative ways to maintain morale and pass the time during the long and arduous campaign in Salonika. The First World War, also known as the Great War, saw the deployment of troops from all corners of the British Empire, including India. The Indian Expeditionary Force (IEF) played a significant role in the Salonika campaign, which lasted from 1915 to 1918. Despite the challenges and hardships they faced, the soldiers found ways to maintain their spirits, as evidenced by this photograph of the wrestling match on horseback. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and the resilience and adaptability of soldiers in the face of adversity. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia.
