Book excerpt: This book has been a long voyage of discovery. As time passed, I realised that my view of the treatment of the many animals in WW1 was completely wrong. Reading excerpts from soldiers who were there, instruction manuals and war diaries changed the picture in my mind to one of care and love. Millions were involved with animals in World War One. Most would not talk about their experiences and are no longer with us. The stories and information here will enable you to understand better what the animals did and their relationship with their carers. Book Rear Cover Description This is a book about the animals involved in WW1 that animal lovers can enjoy without fear. Animals were vital for the winning of this war. Where did they come from? Training, caring and disposal are also necessary, but how? Surprisingly, the level of care provided by the authorities was astonishing. The men in the front line were the ones who provided hands-on care, with real love. The book is mostly from a British perspective but includes others; many of our horses, for example, came from America. Some stories are factual, and others are fiction; all are based around accurate settings and events. Not all animals worked, e.g. pets, but their contribution to the men's morale is unquestionable. Here you will find love and care, knowledge and instruction, and the animals were unquestionably heroes.
