War Horse Tribute
In times of war, we would usually think first about the tragic human cost. However, there’s also a rich history of animals who actually serve their countries too and are often forgotten. So we were pleased to see that in 1918, a few honorable US soldiers took the time to simulate the image of a giant horse, to pay tribute to the 8 million animals that lost their lives during World War I.

During the Great War, many horses, mules, and donkeys played their part and helped serve their country in battle. They also enlisted the help of many dogs, cats, and even bears who gave their lives too. So this group of soldiers paid homage to all the lost animals with this symbolic gesture of a war horse. We have to admit that the attention to detail, especially the white part depicting the horse’s reigns is incredibly touching.
