EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience during the New Zealand Division horse show near the Western Front during World War One, circa 1916. Amidst the backdrop of the great conflict, Allied forces took a moment to celebrate their shared bond with their horses, who played a crucial role in transporting supplies, communication, and morale during the war. The New Zealand Division, part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), is represented by the smartly-uniformed soldiers and their chargers, their uniforms adorned with the distinctive insignia of the Kiwi fern. The horses, too, display a sense of pride and readiness, their coats glistening in the sunlight. The field, dotted with tents and military equipment, serves as a stark reminder of the wartime setting. Yet, the scene is far from somber; the laughter and joviality of the horse show are palpable, with soldiers and horses engaged in friendly competition, their spirits undeterred by the challenges of the battlefield. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the Allied forces during World War One, showcasing the human side of the conflict and the vital role horses played in the war effort. The New Zealand Division horse show near the Western Front serves as a poignant reminder of the camaraderie, resilience, and determination that sustained the Allies during the Great War.
