Impression sketch
detail of Greek Officers at Salonika - by Jamie. See original at: http://www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com/item/fighting-men-of-greece-officers-and-men-of-the-greek-army-iln0-1916-0909-0016-001/#
With a naval history, that linked
to a heroic past of the Odyssey
And the Iliad - reality beyond
fables came in 1915, in rumours
Of Greece entering war.
An official
Greek source made
Release to
Reuters, how officers
Being on missions
aboard, were
Recalled to
Athens - a summons
To regroup the Hellenic Navy.
The complexities
of the countries
Geography,
already with expanded
Boundaries from
Balkan wars -
Mixed in with
internal politics;
Only time might
tell the truth.
The recalling of
Greek military
Forces suggested preparations
For war during September
1915
Such facts had no confirmations,
Such facts had no confirmations,
Beyond a Salonika
conference.
