This page lists the known war correspondents, war photographers, war artists, and war cinematographers who were active during the First and Second Balkan Wars. The First Balkan War lasted from October 1912 to May 1913, and comprised actions of the Balkan League (Serbia, Greece, Montenegro and Bulgaria) against the Ottoman Empire. Montenegro declared war on 8 October and Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece followed suit on 17 October. The war concluded with signing of the Treaty of London on 30 May 1913. The Second Balkan War broke out when Bulgaria, dissatisfied with its share of the spoils of the First Balkan War, attacked its former allies, Serbia and Greece, on 29 June 1913. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Bucharest by the three powers on 10 August 1913. An estimated 200-300 journalists from around the world covered the war in the Balkans in November 1912.〔“Correspondants de guerre”, ''Le Petit Journal Illustré'' (Paris), 3 novembre 1912.〕 == Reporting on the war from Greece == The official censorship bureau was established at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens.〔(Captain Albert Henry William Trappman ''The Greeks Triumpant'' (London: Forster Groom, 1915), p. 11. )〕 Each journalist had to make an application to proceed to the front, and enclose a photograph, together with a certificate from their country’s Ministry in Athens. The Greek Government then issued the journalist an identity card which identified the paper he or she represented, their photograph, and a copy of their signature. The journalist was given a spade-shaped blue-and-white badge the size of a small plate to pin on their chest, on which the letters “ΕΦ” were worked, being the initial letters of the Greek word for “Newspaper” (Εφημερίδα).〔(Captain Albert Henry William Trappman ''The Greeks Triumpant'' (London: Forster Groom, 1915), p. 12. )〕 The day after the Battle of Sarantaporo, journalists were allowed to proceed to the Epirus front.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Journalists of the Balkan Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
