EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs taken during the tumultuous year of 1917 in the midst of the First World War showcases the indomitable spirit of the horses and mules that played a crucial role in the conflict. The images evoke a range of emotions, from the raw power and strength of the animals in action, to the tender moments of mother and foal bonding in the midst of chaos. One photograph captures a horse in full gallop, its muscles rippling as it charges forward, a cloud of dust trailing behind. Another scene depicts a mule standing steadfastly in the mire of the battle area, its eyes fixed on the horizon, a testament to the animals' unwavering resilience in the face of adversity. A heartwarming image of a mother mule with her foal, their bond unbroken amidst the destruction of war, serves as a poignant reminder of the innocence and fragility of life. The photographs also reveal the harsh realities of the battlefield, with mules struggling to pull carts through the thick, muddy ground of Flanders. Soldiers can be seen in the background, their expressions a mix of determination and exhaustion, as they work together with the animals to move supplies and equipment. The images offer a glimpse into the daily struggles and triumphs of the animals and soldiers during this pivotal moment in history. These photographs, taken in 1917, provide a powerful and moving testament to the role of animals in war and the unbreakable bond between man and beast. They offer a unique perspective on the human experience of the First World War and serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this time.
