EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lantern slide image transports us back to the early 20th century and the chaotic yet determined scene of a Divisional Horse Transport Pack during World War I. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the raw energy and grit of the British Army during this pivotal period in history. In the foreground, a line of horses, their coats glistening with sweat, are tethered to a wagon, their heads turned towards the camera with curious expressions. Behind them, a sea of soldiers, known as 'Tommies' or 'Tommies' in the British Army, are busy loading supplies onto the wagons. The soldiers, dressed in their heavy uniforms and equipment, are focused on their task, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The Divisional Horse Transport Pack was a vital component of the British Army during WWI, responsible for transporting essential supplies and equipment to the front lines. Horses were the primary mode of transportation, and these packs were essential for the survival and success of the troops. The image exudes a sense of urgency and industry, with the soldiers working tirelessly to ensure that their comrades at the front have the necessary resources to continue the fight. The Victorian and Edwardian era details, such as the soldiers' uniforms and equipment, add to the vintage charm of the photograph. This poignant snapshot of history offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British Army during WWI, a time of great sacrifice and courage. The Divisional Horse Transport Pack was a critical element of the war effort, and this photograph serves as a testament to the determination and resilience of the soldiers who served during this period.
