Saloniki 1912

[Guelcemal]

Hello,

In October 1912 during the Balkan war Great Britain, France, Italy and Austro-Hungary each had one cruiser based at Saloniki / Thessaloniki to protect their national citizens. Until today I managed to identfy the British GOOD HOPE and the Austrian KAISERIN UND KÖNIGIN MARIA THERESIA. Does anyone know which vessel was involved from Marine nationale and also possible the identity of the Italian one ?

Many thanks in advance.
