The Epistratoi (Greek: Επίστρατοι, "Reservists") were a royalist paramilitary organization in Greece during World War I, in the context of the National Schism. They played a major role in the Noemvriana of 1916.
They are considered the first mass political organization in the country, monarchist, directed against the liberal bourgeoisie and foreign intervention.[1]
