Ambulance for wounded horses, World War One
An ambulance for wounded horses on the battlefield : the Canadian Mounted Veterinary Corps at work with field artillery. Men of the Mounted Section of the Canadian Veterinary Corps are seen collecting wounded horses in the firing line of the field artillery. An animal wounded in one of its forelegs is being assisted to the ambulance wagon by four men supporting it with a blanket under its belly while another is leading it. The wounded horses receive first aid and are then taken to a Base Veterinary Hospital. If the wound is too severe, the animal is humanely put out of its misery. Date: 1916

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the World War One battlefield, a beacon of hope and compassion emerges in the form of the Canadian Mounted Veterinary Corps and their ambulance for wounded horses. In this poignant image dating back to 1916, we witness the selfless efforts of Canadian soldiers as they collect injured horses in the firing line of the field artillery. The horses, some with wounds in their forelegs, receive immediate attention and care from the dedicated veterinary team. The men of the Mounted Section of the Canadian Veterinary Corps work tirelessly to assist the wounded animals, supporting one with a blanket under its belly while another leads it gently towards the ambulance wagon. The horses, who had been essential companions to their riders on the battlefield, now rely on the kindness and medical expertise of these brave men. The wounded horses are transported to a Base Veterinary Hospital for further treatment. If the injury proves to be too severe, the animals are humanely put out of their misery. The Canadian Veterinary Corps played a crucial role during World War One, attending to over 300,000 horses and other animals, ensuring that they received the necessary medical attention and care. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the compassion and dedication shown towards animals during times of war.
