EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the challenging reality of life in the stables during the First World War. Three weary soldiers struggle to groom an unruly mule in a dimly lit stall. The mule, with its wild eyes and untamed mane, seems to be resisting every attempt at taming, making the soldiers' task all the more difficult. One soldier grumbles in frustration, "Nah then, Undred Legs!" a reference to the mule's four ears, which were often mistaken for extra legs. Mules were widely used by the military during WW1 for their strength, endurance, and sure-footedness in rugged terrain. However, their unruly behavior and stubbornness made them a source of frustration for many soldiers tasked with their care. The remount stations, where horses and mules were kept and cared for, were often understaffed and under-resourced, adding to the difficulty of managing these animals. Despite the challenges, the soldiers persevere, brushing and grooming the mule with determination. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of the daily struggles and hardships faced by soldiers during the war, both on the battlefield and in the stables. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human-animal bond that existed during this time, and the resilience and determination required to care for these animals in the face of adversity.
