EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'L'Arrestation des consuls des puissances ennemies à Salonique; La foule devant le Consulat de Turquie' (The Arrest of the Enemy Consuls in Salonika; The Crowd before the Turkish Consulate), was published in 'L'Illustration' Volume CXLVII in June 1916. The image captures a significant moment during the First World War, specifically the Salonika Campaign on the Macedonian Front. In the photograph, a group of French soldiers are seen arresting men, believed to be Ottoman consuls, in front of the Turkish Consulate in Salonika, Greece. The crowd of onlookers, a mix of men and women, watch intently as the arrests take place. The soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, appear determined and focused, while the civilians in the background display various reactions, from curiosity to concern. The Salonika Campaign, also known as the Macedonian Front, was a major military operation during World War I, fought between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers in Europe's Balkan region. The campaign lasted from October 1915 to September 1918 and saw heavy fighting between the French, British, and Serbian forces, and the Bulgarian, German, and Austro-Hungarian armies. The arrest of enemy consuls was a common tactic used during wartime to disrupt diplomatic relations and gain intelligence. This photograph provides a glimpse into the tensions and complexities of the conflict, as well as the role of ordinary people in witnessing and documenting historical events.
