EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures a moment from the First World War's brutal frontlines, where the invaluable role of horses in the military was underscored by their vulnerability to injury and illness. In this photograph, taken in 1915, a horse undergoes surgery under the skilled hands of the Army Veterinary Corps. The horse, its eyes closed and body still, is administered chloroform to help him endure the procedure. The Corps' veterinarians worked tirelessly to treat and care for the thousands of horses that served alongside British and Allied forces, often in the most challenging and dangerous conditions. Horses were essential for transporting supplies, artillery, and troops, and their loss was felt deeply. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these animals during the Great War.
