EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured on the 19th of October 1918 by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, transports us back in time to Nine Elms goods yard in London. The image portrays a poignant scene where cart horses patiently await their next task, their carts piled high with sacks. In this snapshot from England's past, we witness the tireless efforts of these magnificent animals as they play a crucial role in the transportation industry during World War I. These loyal creatures were an integral part of everyday life for many working-class families, carrying heavy loads and supporting various industries across Europe. The landscape setting adds to the charm and authenticity of this historical moment. With no people visible in the frame, our attention is solely focused on these hardworking horses and their stacked carts. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination that characterized those challenging times.
