Summary

| Description |
English: A sergeant, wrapped in his greatcoat against the cold, reading a notice nailed to a tree. The notice reads, 'Kindness to animals, 500 horses lamed weekly by nails dropped on roads and horse lines by cookers carrying firewood with nails left in. Please remove nails'. Much of the firewood used at the Front would have been timber salvaged from ruined buildings, so nails would have been a considerable problem. The army during World War I was very dependant on horses and mules for transport of guns, ammunition and other heavy goods, as well as for the cavalry. They could not afford needless casualties even though, at the rate of 500 lamed per week, this was still less than one percent of the total of over 2,500,000 horses treated in 1914 alone. |
