EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience during the First World War as it depicts a mule mascot of the Royal Naval Division from 1916. The mule, with its ears perked up and gaze fixed on the camera, seems to understand the gravity of the situation and stands proudly alongside its human comrades. The Royal Naval Division, also known as the "Royal Navy's Army," was formed in 1914 to provide infantry support for the Royal Navy's shore-based personnel. Mules were an essential part of the Division's logistical support, carrying supplies and equipment over rough terrain. The presence of mascots in military units dates back to ancient times, and they played an essential role in boosting morale and providing companionship to soldiers. This mule, with its distinctive markings and regal demeanor, was undoubtedly a beloved member of the Division. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers and their animal companions during the First World War. The rugged terrain and harsh conditions of the battlefield are evident in the background, serving as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by the men and animals who served in this unique military unit. The Royal Naval Division saw action in several major battles, including the Battle of Jutland and the Battle of the Somme. The Division was disbanded in 1919, but the legacy of its mascots lived on, becoming a symbol of the remarkable bond between soldiers and animals in times of war.
