Ratting in the trenches, WWI
Ratting: The New Sport in the Trenches. British soldiers follow a terrier as it dashes along a trench on the Western Front in pursuit of a rat. The War Budget, in which this illustration was published, writes that rewards were offered for the capture of rats and in one single fortnight, one army corps alone disposed of 8000 rats, some indication of the scale of the vermin problem in the trenches. Date: 1916

Ratting - The New Sport in the Trenches
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Captivating Image from the Western Front of World War I This evocative photograph, published in The War Budget in 1916, captures the determination and camaraderie of British soldiers as they engage in an unexpected pastime amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I. In this image, a terrier, its ears pricked and eyes focused intently on its quarry, dashes along a muddy trench in pursuit of a rat. The soldiers following closely behind, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation, are a testament to the scale and intensity of this unusual sport. The rat infestation in the trenches was a significant problem for the soldiers, with rewards offered for the capture of these vermin in an effort to alleviate their presence. In a single fortnight, one army corps alone disposed of an astonishing 8,000 rats, providing a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the troops in the field. The photograph, titled "Ratting: The New Sport in the Trenches," offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during this tumultuous time in history. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The terrier, a loyal and tenacious companion, serves as a symbol of hope and courage in the face of adversity. This powerful photograph not only captures the spirit of the soldiers and their canine companions but also sheds light on the unique and often overlooked aspects of life in the trenches during the First World War.
