First World War

The Army was formed in Salonika under Lieutenant-General Bryan Mahon to oppose Bulgarian advances in the region as part of the Macedonian front.[2] The army arrived in Salonika (along with French troops) on 15 October 1915.[3] In May 1916 Lieutenant-General George Milne replaced Bryan Mahon as commander of the Army. It eventually comprised two corps and as the Army of the Black Sea remained in place until 1921.[4] The dead of the British Salonika Army are commemorated by the Doiran Memorial.
