After preparing the port of Salonika for defence, the troops moved up
country. During 1916, further Allied contingents of Serbian, Italian and
Russian troops arrived and offensive operations began. These culminated in the fall of Monastir to
Franco-Serb forces during November. There was a second
offensive during the spring of 1917, the British part of which was the
First Battle of Doiran (24-25 April and 8-9 May 1917). It made
little impression on the Bulgarian defences. The front line remained more
or less static until September 1918, when a third offensive was launched.
This time, the British attacked at Doiran for a second time (18-19
September 1918). With a breakthrough by Serbian forces west of the river
Vardar, the Bulgarian army was forced into a general retreat. The campaign
concluded with the surrender of Bulgaria on 30 September
1918. |
