First and only edition of Süleyman Tevfik's eyewitness travel account to Thessaly who participated in the Turco-Greco War in 1897 as a war correspondent in the Thessaly Front between April 27 - May 20 1897. The Greco-Turkish War of 1897 or the Ottoman-Greek War of 1897 also called the Thirty Days' War and known in Greece as the Black '97. It was a war fought between the Kingdom of Greece and the Ottoman Empire. Its immediate cause was the question over the status of the Ottoman province of Crete whose Greek majority had long desired union with Greece. Despite the Ottoman victory on the field an autonomous Cretan State under Ottoman suzerainty was established the following year because of the intervention of the Great Powers after the war with Prince George of Greece and Denmark as its first High Commissioner. This was the first war effort in which the military and political personnel of Greece were put to test in an official open war since the Greek War of Independence in 1821. For the Ottoman Empire this was also the first war effort in which the reorganized military personnel were put to the test. The Ottoman army was under the guidance of a German military mission led by Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz who had reorganized it after the defeat in the Russo-Turkish War 1877-1878. In Thessalian Front war was declared on 18 April when the Ottoman ambassador in Athens Asim Bey met with the Greek foreign minister announcing the cutting of diplomatic ties. Heavy fighting occurred between the 21-22 April outside the town of Tyrnavos but when the overwhelming Ottoman forces converged and pushed together the Greek general staff ordered a general withdrawal spreading panic among soldiers and civilians alike. Larissa fell on 27 April while the Greek front was being reorganized behind the strategic lines of Velestino in Farsala. Nevertheless a division was ordered to head for Velestino thus cutting Greek forces in two 60 km apart. Between 27 and 30 April under the command of Col. Konstantinos Smolenskis Greek forces checked and halted the Ottoman advance. On 5 May three Ottoman divisions attacked Farsala forcing an orderly withdrawal of Greek forces to Domokos while on the eve of those events Smolenskis withdrew from newly recaptured Velestino to Almyros. Volos fell into Ottoman hands on 8 May. At Domokos the Greeks assembled 40000 men in a strong defensive position joined by about 2000 Italian "Redshirt" volunteers under the command of Ricciotti Garibaldi son of Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Ottoman Empire had a total of about 70000 troops of whom about 45000 were directly engaged in the battle. On 16 May the attackers sent part of their army around the flank of the Greeks to cut off their line of retreat but it failed to arrive in time. The next day the rest of their army made a frontal assault. Both sides fought ferociously. The Ottomans were held at bay by the fire of the defending infantry until their left flank defeated the Greek right. The Ottoman formation broke through forcing a renewed withdrawal. Smolenskis was ordered to stand his ground at the Thermopylae passage but on 20 May a ceasefire went into effect.
