EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essential role donkeys played in the logistical support of the Allied forces during the brutal battles of the Somme in World War I. Taken in October 1916 at Maurepas, the image shows a line of donkeys laden with steaming pails of soup, making their way towards the front lines. The animals' calm and resilient demeanor stands in stark contrast to the chaotic and destructive scene of war that surrounds them. Donkeys were widely used during World War I for transportation and supply purposes, particularly in the muddy and treacherous conditions of the Western Front. Their small size and sure-footedness made them ideal pack animals, able to navigate the rough terrain and carry essential supplies, including food, ammunition, and medical equipment, to the troops. The donkeys in this photograph are seen carrying soup, a vital source of sustenance for the soldiers who were often exposed to harsh weather conditions and long hours of combat. The sight of the donkeys carrying the hot and nourishing soup would have been a welcome relief for the weary and hungry soldiers, providing a small moment of comfort in the midst of the chaos and hardship of war. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role animals played in the Great War, and the sacrifices they made in the service of their human companions. The image also underscores the resilience and adaptability of animals, and their ability to provide comfort and support in even the most challenging of circumstances.
