Goodbye Old Man

EDITORS COMMENTS
: A poignant moment of love and compassion in the midst of the harsh realities of war. Circa 1916, during the turbulent times of World War One, this soldier takes a moment to bid farewell to his loyal steed, a horse that had carried him through countless battles and long marches. The blue cross on the horse's chest signifies that it is a military animal, a working horse that had faithfully served its country. The soldier's expression is one of sadness and grief, as he gives his dying horse a parting kiss. The horse, with its weary eyes and labored breathing, seems to understand the inevitable and returns the soldier's affection. This heartfelt scene is a reminder of the deep bond between man and animal, even in the most trying of times. The image is a poignant testament to the sacrifices made during wartime, not just by the soldiers, but also by the animals that served alongside them. It is a moment of history that evokes a sense of great love and sadness, as we reflect on the suffering and loss experienced during the conflict. This powerful photograph, taken circa 1916, is a poignant reminder of the human-animal connection and the enduring love and compassion that can be found even in the most difficult of circumstances. It is a historical image that speaks to the heart and reminds us of the importance of remembering the past, and the lessons it holds for us today.
