A Lecture: Personal Experiences in the Second Balkan War
Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Greece fought in the Second Balkan War between June – August 1913, over territorial claims to lands in Macedonia and Thrace [Greece and Türkiye]. This resulted in significant instability in Central Europe before the First World War. Dr Cecil J. R. MacFadden was a Surgeon to the British Red Cross Society's Bulgarian Relief Section during the Second Balkan War and soon after became a Lecturer with the St John Ambulance Association, and a Divisional Surgeon to the St John Ambulance Brigade's No. 20 Hampstead Ambulance Division. This poster promotes his lecture for the Division on his experiences volunteering during the war.
