In 1910 he reported from Turkey and the First Balkan War. Following this, Price became the Daily Mail's Paris correspondent at the age of 26. His reporting of the Balkan wars made his reputation as a journalist. The outbreak of the First World War saw Price return to Turkey to cover the Gallipoli campaign on behalf of the Newspaper Proprietors Association members. After covering the evacuation which ended the campaign he moved to the Salonika front. The Armée d'Orient based in Thessaloniki was one of the more colorful forces in World War One, being made up of French, British, Indian, Vietnamese, Serb, Italian, Senegalese, Russian and Greek soldiers. Feeling things had quieted there he redeployed to the Italian Front and witnessed the retreat from Caporetto. In 1918, Ward Price published his first book, The Story of the Salonica Army, recounting his adventures with the Armée d'Orient. The Armée d'Orient was a field army of the French Army during World War I who fought on the Macedonian front. The Armée d'Orient was formed in September 1915 during the Conquest of Serbia by German-Austrian-Bulgarian forces, and shipped to the Greek port of Salonika where its first units arrived on 5 October. Despite several offensives, the front stabilized on the Greek-Serbian border until September 1918, when the Bulgarian army disintegrated after defeat in the Battle of Dobro Pole. On 11 August 1916, all allied troops on the Salonika front came under a united command, and named Allied Army of the Orient.Condition: Fair. The binding is intact.
