EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War One, a moment of respite is captured at this active British service stable, circa 1916. The corrugated iron buildings, a common feature of temporary military structures, provide shelter for the horses and mules that played a crucial role in transporting supplies and equipment to the front lines. Soldiers can be seen tending to the animals, brushing them down and attaching nosebags, ensuring they were well-fed and cared for despite the cold and snowy winter weather. Horses and mules were essential companions to the British forces, and their welfare was a top priority. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers and their animals during the Great War, a time when the bond between man and beast was stronger than ever." "The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie and determination, as men and animals worked together to support the war effort. The winter weather, with its snow-covered field and frosty ground, adds to the somber yet enduring atmosphere of the photograph. This historical image, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the vital role animals played in the conflict.
