EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the Western Front during the tumultuous year of 1918, a moment of respite and levity unfolds as Stunter, the clever mascot of the British Tank Corps, skillfully balances atop a motorcycle before his rider. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, this photograph captures a brief moment of camaraderie and connection between man and his canine companion. Stunter, a German Shepherd Dog, was a beloved mascot of the Tank Corps, known for his intelligence and agility. As the Corps made their way through the muddy and treacherous terrain of France, Stunter accompanied them, providing morale and companionship to the soldiers. The motorcycle, a vital means of transport during the war, offered a sense of freedom and adventure for both the rider and his four-legged passenger. In this image, Stunter's confident pose and steady gaze suggest a deep trust and understanding between the two, as they prepare to embark on their next mission. The photograph, taken in May 1918, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the soldiers and their animals during the Great War. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that endured even in the most challenging of circumstances. This historical image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during this pivotal time in history.
