The disease-ridden and inhospitable landscape of Salonika is one of the forgotten campaigns of WW1. For almost three years soldiers from all over the world fought against each other in increasingly awful conditions.
More men became casualties from disease than from enemy action and the Allies had over 160,000 cases of malaria during the campaign. We hear about the Allies first impressions of Salonika, how the creative output of two of the finest minds in English art and music were shaped by their experiences on the front, and the story of "Stokey" Lewis an eccentric fishmonger from South Wales who became the youngest Welsh VC winner of the Great War.
