EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the chaotic landscape of the First World War, a scene of tranquility unfolds as Mr. Fred Ginnett, a skilled horse trainer, demonstrates his expertise in taming vicious war mules for the Army. Surrounded by the rugged terrain of 1915, Ginnett's calm demeanor stands in stark contrast to the raw power and unpredictability of the animals he is training. The mules, once wild and refractory, are now being broken and prepared for military service. Ginnett's methodical approach, combined with the agility and expertise of several Mexican boys, ensures that each mule is gradually brought under control. The boys, adept with the lasso, skillfully guide the animals, providing essential assistance to Ginnett in this arduous process. This historical photograph captures a poignant moment in the annals of military history. As the world was engulfed by the devastating conflict of World War I, the importance of animals in the war effort could not be overlooked. Horses and mules were indispensable for transporting supplies and equipment, and their successful training was crucial to the success of military campaigns. Mr. Fred Ginnett's dedication and the Mexican boys' expertise played a vital role in ensuring the readiness of these animals for military service. This image serves as a testament to the human spirit and the resilience of those who, amidst the chaos of war, found a way to tame the wild and make it work for them.
