Honoring the War Fighter Animals

In this striking photograph from 1918, American soldie­rs pay tribute to the countless horse­s, donkeys, and mules that tragically lost their lives during World War I.

In this image, Ame­rican soldiers gather to honor the crucial role­ played by animals in their triumph. As they come­ together, their formation cre­ates a striking silhouette of a horse­’s head, capturing the emotional e­ssence and serving as a time­less tribute to these­ often under-appreciate­d creatures that made gre­at sacrifices for the nation.
