  1897 GRECO-TURKISH WAR - LoveToKnow Article on 1897 GRECO-TURKISH WAR   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Meanwhile the Turks made preparations to attack Pharsala, and on 5th May the Greeks were driven from their positions in front of the town by three divisions.
The abandonment of Pharsala involved that of Velestino, where the Turks had obtained no advantage, and on the evening of the 5th Colonel Smolenski began a retirement upon Halmyros.
The superior leading was, however, not conspicuously successful; and while the rank and file again showed excellent military qualities, political conditions and the Oriental predilection for half-measures and for denying full responsibility and full powers to commanders in the field enfeebled the conduct of the campaign.

In the hilly country in which 4 Brigade had taken up defensive positions, a site for an advanced dressing station was chosen on the road a few miles north of the village of Paleonellene, and B Company, 4 Field Ambulance, with its three officers and 60 men, was sent there on 23 March.
Ambulance cars which had taken wounded to a CCS found it very difficult to return against the stream of traffic on roads extensively damaged by bombing, and the field ambulances had to make the best arrangements possible to bring back with them the men who were wounded in the withdrawal.
Fourth Field Ambulance went through Larissa to Pharsala, and then turned east to the coast at Almiros, later going to an area a few miles south of Lamia and there setting up an ADS to take in wounded from convoys.

 Telegraph | Arts | The boy who would be emperor
The book as a whole is rather slapdash.
On page one we are told that Greece was smashed and Carthage destroyed in 167BC (it was 146BC); on page two that the Latin for Catiline was Catilinus (it was Catilina); Pharsalus on the map becomes Pharsala on the page; and so on.
This does not create confidence in an author who affects an irritating air of matey superiority throughout, as if the scholars responsible for the real work on which the whole book is based did not actually know what they were on about.

 NL11_1: Touring the Vlach Villages of Greece
In fact, that seedy, decrepit station has often been my first point of contact with Vlachs in Greece.
Many old Vlach women -- so incongruous in Athens, dressed, as always, from head to toe in thick fl wool -- board buses there, heading home to Larisa, Volos, Trikala, Pharsala, or to mountain villages, after visiting sons and daughters settled in Athens.
I have met Vlachs all over Greece, even on distant islands, far away from any Vlach centers, and meeting them by chance in Athens should come as no surprise.
