  • Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

  • Battle of Kosturino: the Irish-Australian Connection
    Battle of Kosturino: the Irish-Australian connection Dr Jeff Kildea Adjunct Professor in Irish Studies University of New South Wales Battle of Kosturino: the Irish-Australian connection The Battle of Kosturino is a little-known action in the little-known Macedonian campaign during the very well-known First World War. While this minor clash in the Balkans in December 1915 is of little significance in the overall context of the war, its interest for me as an Australian is that the battle involved troops from the 10th (Irish) Division, recently transferred from Gallipoli where the division’s 29th Brigade had served alongside the Anzacs during the August offensive at Lone Pine, Quinn’s Post, Chunuk Bair and Hill 60. At the Battle of Kosturino a small contingent of Australian soldiers served alongside the Irish.1 Background Today, Kosturino is a village in the Republic of Macedonia (aka Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), given the country’s naming dispute with Greece since 1991 following the break-up of Yugoslavia). In 1915 the village was in the Kingdom of Serbia. As every school student knows the First World War had its origins in the Balkans when a Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo. But once the fighting began the focus of the war quickly shifted to Belgium, France and Russia while the Balkans, the source of the conflict, was all but forgotten. Out of the limelight, the Serbians held the vengeful Austrians back for twelve months while the governments of their Balkan neighbours (especially Bulgaria and Greece) debated within themselves whether to side with the Austrians or the Entente.

  • Inniskillings, Spent Time As a Prisoner in Germany from August 1914
    remembrance ni ! The Advance in Flanders. Troops of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, 36th (Ulster) Division, advancing from Ravelsburg Ridge, 1 September 1918. Inniskilling insights WW1 The Regiment raised 13 Battalions and was awarded 46 Battle Honours and 8 Victoria Crosses, losing 5,890 men during the course of the war. Page !1 Derry Fusiliers in the hell of Passchendale The Third Battles of Ypres 1917, more commonly known as the battle of Passchendaele, took place between July and November 1917. It actually consisted of eight officially listed ‘battles’. Mustard Gas 8th August 1917 On the night of 7th August 1917 the 10th R. Inniskilling Fusiliers moved up to the front line at Passchendaele and in the darkness they entered a nightmare world. Carrying their heavy kit whilst struggling through deep, sticky mud, the light from flares and explosions illuminated a sea of water-filled shell holes and thick mud. There were no trenches as they flooded, so men had little protection from the high explosive shells and machine-gun fire and took cover where they could. At 1am on 8th August as the battalion relieved the 15th RIR from their stint in the front line, suddenly, without warning, artillery shells fell among them. This time they were not filled with explosives, but the German's new horror weapon … mustard gas. Gas masks offered some protection for the eyes and lungs from gas clouds, but were not effective this time as men had been heavily splattered by the liquid gas and it burned through their uniforms creating huge blisters as big as the palm of the hand and burning through flesh to the bone.
