EDITORS COMMENTS
In the chaotic and harsh conditions of the Salonika Front during World War I, a small donkey named Tiny brought a touch of warmth and joy to the soldiers of the 26th Divisional Train. Tiny was discovered by the soldiers, dying by the roadside in 1916. Compassionate and with a sense of humor, the soldiers adopted Tiny as their regimental mascot. Despite being a mascot, Tiny had a mischievous streak and a knack for breaking every known military law in the camp. He would wander freely around the camp, much to the amusement and frustration of the soldiers. His antics were a welcome distraction from the harsh realities of the war. One of Tiny's most notable feats was his tea-drinking ability. He was known to drink nine mugs of tea in succession, much to the astonishment and delight of the soldiers. The image captured here shows Tiny enjoying a well-deserved cup of tea, a small luxury in the harsh conditions of the Salonika Front. Tiny's story is a testament to the human-animal bond that existed during the Great War. He brought a sense of joy and companionship to the soldiers, and his antics provided a much-needed distraction from the horrors of the battlefield. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the unique and often unexpected ways that animals, like Tiny, contributed to the morale of the troops during World War I.
