MACEDONIA: [VOL II] From the Spring of 1917 to the end of the war. OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE GREAT WAR. :: Official Histories :: The Great War :: Time Periods

The second of the two Macedonia volumes completes the narrative of British military operations in that theatre. The four months from late May to early September were relatively uneventful apart from raids, the most dramatic occurrence being a major fire in Salonika which destroyed between a third and a half of the city rendering 80,000 people homeless. Towarfds the end of 1917 things livened up with operations in the Struma Valley, and at the end of the year the Allied C in C, Sarrail, was recalled and replaced by Guillaumat. In May/June 1918 there were Franco-Greek operations, a testing rehearsal for the planned final offensive which was launched in September. The battles of Dobropolje and Dojran and the Bulgars began to retreat. The narrative takes the story through the allied pursuit to the armistice with Bulgaria on 30 Sep. Total battle casualties among British and Indian troops amounted to 23,762; total non-battle casualties numbered 481,262 of whom just over 198,000 were malaria cases.
