EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Kakaraska Held, Scouts Bringing Back Report under Fire, Spring 1918," captures a moment of intense bravery and determination during the Salonika Campaign of World War I. The scene is set in the Struma Valley Front in Macedonia, where the Surrey Yeomanry, a British cavalry regiment, was stationed. In the foreground, we see a group of scouts, their faces focused and determined, as they gallop towards the camera while holding a report under the cover of their capes. The scouts, who were responsible for gathering intelligence and reconnaissance, were often the first to encounter enemy lines and faced great danger in their missions. Behind them, we see the silhouettes of their comrades in the Surrey Yeomanry, who are holding their horses steady and prepared for battle. The horses, with their ears pricked and eyes wide, seem to sense the imminent danger. The smoke from gunfire rises in the background, adding to the sense of urgency and danger. The photograph was taken by Frank Algernon Stewart, a renowned British topographical photographer who captured many scenes of the war. The title "Kakaraska Held" refers to the Kakaraska River, which flows through the Struma Valley and was a significant strategic location during the campaign. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who served in the Surrey Yeomanry and other cavalry regiments during the Salonika Campaign. Despite the danger and hardships they faced, they continued to carry out their duties with determination and bravery, making this image a poignant and important record of a pivotal moment in military history.
