Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tank Corp's mascot, 'Stunter', and his officer, France, during World War I. The officer and his bike look clean and well-kept and they appear to be in front of a grand house surrounded by gardens. The subjects do not look especially relaxed or natural and it is possible that this was an engineered shot, taken solely for propaganda purposes.

Mascots were kept by many groups of soldiers. Often they were strays which were picked up on the move and given a temporary home. They could be used to alleviated the boredom, tension and impersonality of the war.
