Episode 3 of 3
Withdrawal from Velestino to Almyros
- When
- circa 4–5 May 1897
- Where
- Velestino to Almyros, with the Farsala attack and withdrawal to Domokos
On the eve of the 5 May Ottoman attack on Farsala, Smolenskis withdrew from newly recaptured Velestino to Almyros.
On 5 May three Ottoman divisions attacked Farsala, forcing an orderly withdrawal of Greek forces to Domokos. On the eve of those events, Smolenskis had withdrawn from newly recaptured Velestino to Almyros. The withdrawal from Velestino therefore occurred before the Farsala attack, and the passages do not state its exact day.
