Riassunto

TheWar Horses concentrates upon those groups of
animals who were requisitioned rather than those
`professionally' employed by the cavalry, in other words
the horses, mules and donkeys who took on the
drudgery of heaving rations, guns and munitions up to
the front line, returning with wounded and maimed
men. The author draws upon over 200 photographs
and eye-witness accounts to illustrate the actuality of
war and the vital role played by the horse on the
Western Front. Poignant memoirs reveal the bond
formed between the fighting men and the animals in
their care; remarkable stories of compassion and kindness
set against the harrowing background of `TheWar
to End AllWars'.
