Under the Blue Cross - Wounded Horses Being Conveyed to the Veterinary Hospital, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a solemn moment during the First World War. In this image, we witness a scene of compassion and dedication as wounded horses are transported to a veterinary hospital. The horse-drawn vehicle, known as a horse box or wagon, moves slowly along an outdoor road. The driver, a brave soldier in uniform, guides these noble creatures with care and expertise. The bandaged horses stand tall amidst their pain and suffering, bearing witness to the horrors of war. Their injuries are evident through the carefully wrapped bandages that cover their wounds. These animals served alongside soldiers on battlefields where they faced unimaginable danger. The photograph is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VII" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published in London in 1917. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the sacrifices made by animals during times of conflict and the tireless efforts made by medical personnel to provide them with much-needed care. As we gaze upon this historic image from over a century ago, let us reflect on the resilience displayed by these magnificent creatures and honor their contribution to our shared history. May it serve as a testament to humanity's capacity for empathy even in times of great adversity.
