3rd Lahore Indian Division. Circa October 1914
Whenever the mules, which carry the Indian mountain guns and ammuntion, see any sand, or mud, or dust, nothing will prevent them from having a bath in it. These animals, which are very powerful, stand anywhere from 12 to 13.5 hands high, and are most intelligent. On detraining at Orleans, France they seized the opportunity of having one of their favourite baths

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, showcasing the 3rd Lahore Indian Division during World War One. Taken circa October 1914, it offers a glimpse into the unique relationship between soldiers and their trusty companions - mules. In this particular scene, as the division's mules transport Indian mountain guns and ammunition, they stumble upon sand, mud, or dust. Without hesitation, these powerful creatures indulge in their favorite pastime - a refreshing bath! Standing tall at heights ranging from 12 to 13.5 hands high, these intelligent animals exhibit both strength and grace. The photograph further reveals the setting of Orleans, France where the division has just detrained from box cars. Amidst the chaos of war and conflict surrounding them, these mules seize an opportunity for respite by immersing themselves in nature's embrace. Horace Grant skillfully captured this moment on film with his keen eye for detail. The image not only showcases military life but also highlights the bond formed between humans and animals amidst adversity. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection of historical photographs from early 20th-century conflicts like World War One (WWI), let us appreciate the significance of every element within it - be it turbans worn by soldiers or railway tracks that symbolize journeys embarked upon during those tumultuous times.
