Commandeered - Goodbye Old Friend
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and poignant photograph by Dudley Tennant, capturing the emotional moment of farewell between a woman and her beloved horse during the early days of the First World War in 1914. The image is a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that was tested during the conflict, as horses were essential for transportation and logistics, and many were commandeered by the military for their use. The woman in the photograph stands next to her horse, her face etched with sadness and determination as she bids her old friend goodbye. The horse, with its ears pricked forward, seems to understand the situation and looks at its owner with a sense of loyalty and understanding. The woman's hand rests gently on the horse's mane, and her other hand clutches a small bouquet of flowers, a token of her affection and love. The background of the photograph shows the chaos and uncertainty of the time, with soldiers in uniform milling about and horses being loaded onto trucks and wagons. The war had already begun, and the woman and her horse were just two of the many victims of the conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war, not just by the soldiers, but also by the animals and their owners. The photograph is a powerful testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, and the emotional toll of war on civilians. It is a reminder of a time in history when the world was forever changed, and the sacrifices made by individuals like this woman and her horse were essential to the outcome of the conflict. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in history, World War I, animals, and the human condition.
