An Unlikely Workforce - Animals on Duty during World War I in Sheffield
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1914 showcases the extraordinary efforts made by Thomas Oxley Ltd, a prominent industrial machinery company based in Sheffield. In an era dominated by human labor, this image captures the unconventional sight of an elephant and two camels diligently engaged in government work for Messrs. Oxley Ltd. The animals are seen pulling a load consisting of three heavy boilers with remarkable ease along Stanley Street, near Shiloh Wheel (also known as Nursery Steam Grinding Wheel). These majestic creatures were enlisted to assist the contractors and coal dealers at Shiloh Works, providing invaluable support for road transport during these challenging times. During the height of World War I, when resources were scarce and manpower was stretched thin due to military obligations, companies like Thomas Oxley Ltd had to think outside the box. The use of elephants and camels as part of their workforce not only demonstrated their innovative approach but also highlighted their commitment to supporting national industries amidst global conflict. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability shown by businesses during wartime. It reminds us that even in times of great adversity, creativity can prevail over obstacles. Let us remember these unsung heroes - both human and animal - who played crucial roles in shaping our industrial landscape while serving their country faithfully.
