Fine fellows the Russians – very large

20th October 1916

Visited Salonika and got some things. Went in and out by motor transport. Town full of Russians, Italians, French, Serbs and Greeks as well as our own soldiers. Saw a march past by Russian troops past General Sarrail and the Russian G.O.C. Fine fellows the Russians – very large with devilishly long rifles and bayonets. Saw an Italian Regt coming in.
