The '''Battle of Skra di Legen'''' was a two day [[World War I]] battle which took place on [[May 16]], [[1918]]. It ended in a decisive Greek victory over the Bulgarian forces.

The battle was the most significant of [[World War I]] in the [[Macedonia]]n Front and resulted in the capture of a particularly fortified position, controlled until then by the Central Powers - chiefly [[Bulgarian]] - troops. The battle of Skra confirmed in the eyes of the allies the fighting readiness of the Greek army that has practically just been restructured.

The Battle of Skra eventually led to the collapse of Macedonian Front - the first front to collapse - leaving the Central Powers' underbelly exposed.
