Hi folks

Does anybody know of a good english language summary or book on the WW1 activity in the northern area of the Republic of Macedonia about 50kms south east of Skopje.

 

thanks

Dom

found one of my own emails from 2006 which mentions Martin Marix Evans Forgotten Battlefronts book and Skopje which I can start to look at!-any other references gratefully accepted :-)

Hi Dom,

If you mean in the Veles area, this is covered in the 'Official History of the Great War Military Operations Macedonia' volume 2 by Captain Cyril Falls. Veles also gets a mention in 'The Gardeners of Salonika' by Alan Palmer.

Further to my original email I did find some useful online sources that might be useful for others but which have probably been flagged before:

German  history 1925:

Weltkriegsende an der mazedonischen Front

https://digi.landesbibliothek.at/viewer/!thumbs/AC00633956/1/

 

and the French Official history as well

Les armées françaises dans la Grande guerre. Tome VIII. 8,3 / Ministère de la guerre, état-major de l'armée, service historique

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k62759483

 

 

very good maps and some useful detail-even in my school boy French and German.

 

cheers

Dom.
