Seriously, who writes these things???? My only fear is that someone is going to read this and take it for face value as "the truth". What on earth is the last paragraph even supposed to mean? 275,000 civilians lost? In a war that wasn't fought on Bulgarian territory (the allies never reached the pre-war borders of Bulgaria)? There seems to be a pattern to these nonsensical military articles about the Balkans - whoever is writing them - for the sake of people wanting to learn something please stop making up history. -Mladen
On another note - it is debatable whether this is a significant issue (I personally think it is) - but making stuff up (no sources) about "German advisors ordering the Bulgarians" seriously downplays the role of General Vladimir Vazov, who successfully defended the position and preserved the itegrity of his army in the face of overwhelming odds - he was saluted as a hero, by a lowering of the English flags, when welcomed at a Great War remembrance in London in 1935. -Mladen
[edit] The photo
A minor point, but the current photo entitled "British Military Cemetery in Doiran" is not a photo of Doiran Cemetery, but of Karasouli Cemetery at Polykastro/Greece. The name can be read on the inside of the lefthand gate pillar in the high-res image. Adrian 87.202.108.56 18:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is This A Real Lake?
I looked on google maps for it but couldn't find it. However on a map at macedonia's website I found a lake named Lake Dojran. http://faq.macedonia.org/information/
Yes, it is real. It is situated between Macedonia and Greece, not far alway from Bulgaria. The name is Dojran Lake. --Gligan 14:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
