The war horses : the tragic fate of a million horses in the First World War
Butler, Simon, 1950-2011
Book
It is estimated that 10 million fighting men, almost 800,000 of them British, died in the First World War. Alongside this tide of human cannon fodder was formed an equally large army of horses and mules: on the Western Front alone, one million horses died. This book tells the story of the part these animals played in the war.
