EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of photographs offers a glimpse into the daily life of a British Army Remount Depot during World War I. In these images, we witness the unwavering dedication and hard work that went into ensuring the horses, the vital backbone of the military machine, were in top condition for service. At the heart of the operation, a blacksmith hammers away at the forge (1), shaping horseshoes to fit the hooves of the animals. Elsewhere, a stablehand meticulously trims the mane and tail of a draught horse (2), while a promising remount, fresh off the boat, is inspected by military personnel (3). Commandant Col. Jessel, MP, and Adjutant Captain Purdey oversee the operations of the depot (4). The horses, many of which had just arrived from overseas, spent their first few days recovering from the long journey (5). The process of breaking in a remount (6) was a laborious one, but essential to ensure the horse was obedient and responsive to its rider. The importance of watering horses (7) cannot be overstated, especially in the heat of the summer months. These scenes provide a poignant reminder of the critical role horses played in the British Army during WWI and the tireless efforts made to keep them in the best possible condition for service. These photographs, taken in 1915, offer a unique and fascinating glimpse into the history of the 1st Great War and the vital role horses played in the British Army during this time.
