Excerpt from Macedonia a Plea for the Primitive Whilst, in course of time, relatives and friends of those who fought with the British Army on the various fronts will have opportunities of paying visits to most of the theatres of war and of reviewing the scenes and surroundings in which their husbands, sons and brothers moved and fought, it is extremely doubtful whether such facilities for introduction to Macedonia will ever be available. There is one paramount reason for this; for whereas such distant fields as Palestine and Mesopotamia will in due time be opened up and exploited by British enterprise, and rendered safe for travel by British custodianship, no such happy feature is likely to await Macedonia. Before the war the mountain fastnesses provided convenient retreats for brigands, no tracks outside the environs of a large town could be considered safe, and, even on the few broad highways, a rencontre with footpads was a contingency which it was inadvisable to ignore.
