Honoring the War Fighter Animals
In this striking photograph from 1918, American soldiers pay tribute to the countless horses, donkeys, and mules that tragically lost their lives during World War I. Alongside the devastating loss of human lives in the Great War, over 8 million noble equines met a brutal end on the battlefield.
In this image, American soldiers gather to honor the crucial role played by animals in their triumph. As they come together, their formation creates a striking silhouette of a horse’s head, capturing the emotional essence and serving as a timeless tribute to these often under-appreciated creatures that made great sacrifices for the nation.
