EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the First World War, showcasing the brave men of the Mounted Section of the Canadian Veterinary Corps. Published in the Illustrated London News on November 4th, 1916, this lithograph by Richard Caton Woodville portrays these courageous soldiers collecting wounded horses amidst the firing line of the Field Artillery. In this powerful image, we witness their unwavering dedication to saving lives, even those of our loyal animal companions. The vets can be seen maneuvering a cart specially designed to transport injured horses safely away from harm's way. Their selflessness and commitment to providing medical aid to these noble creatures is truly remarkable. The scene exudes both chaos and heroism as smoke billows in the background while these brave men carry out their crucial mission. The horses' injuries serve as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced during wartime. Woodville's masterful engraving allows us to appreciate not only their valiant efforts but also highlights an often overlooked aspect of war – caring for animals caught in its crossfire. This historical depiction serves as a testament to humanity's compassion even amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember and honor all those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom – both human and animal alike.
