Published in late 1915 for the exclusive use of the French army in Thessaloniki, this guide was issued when French forces received orders to replace Greek authorities in western Macedonia and Thessaly to secure the southern approaches to Thessaloniki against a potential Greek alliance with the Central Powers.
Prepared as a confidential field manual for French officers, it provides invaluable information on the geography, administration, and social conditions of Thessaly and southern Macedonia in mid-1915.
