EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War in Flanders, Belgium. In August 1917, British gunners are seen with their trusty packhorses, navigating the treacherous battlefields. The image showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of these men as they rely on these animals to transport heavy artillery equipment across unforgiving terrain. The soldiers stand tall and determined amidst the chaos of war, their faces etched with determination. The packhorses dutifully carry their burdens, displaying an unwavering loyalty to their human companions. It is a testament to the strong bond that exists between man and animal even in times of great adversity. The scene evokes a sense of both awe and sadness - awe at the sheer strength exhibited by both man and beast, but also sadness for the harsh realities faced by those involved in this brutal conflict. The horses symbolize innocence amidst destruction; creatures caught up in a war not of their making. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I - not only by soldiers but also by these often-forgotten heroes: packhorses who played an integral role in supporting military operations. It is through images like this that we can better understand and appreciate the multifaceted nature of warfare - encompassing both human courage and animal companionship.
