Just this snippet:

They found these flowers in Greece and on the very top of Mount Kotos, in the wild country outside the port of Salonika, they grow luxuriantly as our troops in the 1914 war found to their surprise. [Constance’s husband Lt-Col Patrick Villiers-Stuart was at Salonika.]

I have emails from this site:

In issue no. 31 - April 2015 of 'The New Mosquito' Salonika campaign society journal there is an article by James Wearn entitled 'Risking their lives for plants on the Salonika Front'. It's about the men of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew who served in Salonika and the plant samples they collected there in their spare time.
