EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the challenge and determination of soldiers at the Army Remount Department during the First World War as they attempt to shoe an unruly mule in 1916. The mule, with its stubborn and unyielding behavior, stands defiantly as men in uniform struggle to hold it still. The scene is a testament to the hardships and perseverance required in the care and maintenance of the horses and mules that played a crucial role in the war effort. The Army Remount Department was responsible for the procurement, training, and maintenance of the horses and mules used by the British military during the First World War. With thousands of animals under their care, the department faced numerous challenges in ensuring their animals were in good health and well-behaved. Mules, in particular, were known for their unpredictable and strong-willed nature, making the task of shoeing them a difficult and time-consuming process. Despite the challenges, the soldiers in this photograph remain focused and determined, using all their strength and skill to hold the mule still while another soldier hammers away at its hoof. The scene is a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that existed during the war and the essential role that animals played in the military effort. The photograph also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers who, in the midst of the chaos and hardships of war, continued to care for their animals with dedication and determination.
