Did you know, during the #FirstWorldWar the British Army Veterinary Corps treated 2.5 million horses and returned 2 million to duty. An incredible proportion!

To water their horses while at the front, the British were equipped with long stretches of canvas which,by means of two rows of wooden stakes, could be quickly converted into troughs, rolled up when finished and moved to the next location. #WarHorseWednesday #FirstWorldWar

Mules proved far more resistant to disease, illness & poor animal management than horses during the #FirstWorldWar. Mortality in the field & during transportation was less than half that of horses & they could be kept in good condition on food rations 25% smaller #MuleMonday
