EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the heart-wrenching scene of horses being treated for mange at Abbeville Veterinary Hospital during World War One. The First World War brought unprecedented challenges for both human and animal soldiers, with diseases such as mange posing a significant threat to the health and welfare of the horses that were essential for transportation and combat. In this photograph, we see a group of horses, their coats matted and covered in sores, being treated with sulphurous acid gas. The pungent gas was applied to the affected areas to help combat the infestation of mites that caused the mange. The horses' expressions convey a mixture of pain and resignation as they endure the treatment, their ears flickering in response to the irritant. The Abbeville Veterinary Hospital was one of several establishments set up during the war to care for the thousands of horses that were used by the British and Allied forces. The hospital was staffed by skilled veterinary surgeons and farriers who worked tirelessly to treat the horses, many of whom had been rescued from the battlefield or were retired from service due to injury or illness. This image serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by animals during the First World War and the dedication of those who worked to care for them. Despite the challenging conditions, the horses continued to serve their countries with unwavering loyalty, and their stories deserve to be remembered and honored.
