Summary:
"This is the extraordinary and deeply moving true story of the million British
horses
who served in the '
Great
War
'. It is told using rare archive and testimony, combined with the latest historical research. The story begins with the mass call up of
horses
from every farm and country estate in the land. Brough Scott evokes the world of Downton Abbey as he tells the tale of his aristocratic grandfather Jack Seely and his beloved horse Warrior. He would become the most famous horse of the
war
, renowned for his amazing courage. The finest hour of the cavalry came in spring 1918 when
--
led by the warhorse Warrior
--
they broke through the German lines and helped win the
war
. But there was further heartache for the
horses
when the
war
came to an end. 85,000 of the oldest were sold for horse meat. Half a million were sold to French farmers to help rebuild the countryside. Only 60,000 made it back to
Britain
. Six black
horses
that survived the
war
together would pull the body of the unknown warrior to its last resting place in Westminster Abbey. But the most famous
war
horse of all to return in glory was Warrior. His story, like the million other British
horses
who served, should never be forgotten.
Horses
are an integral part of World
War
One. Their story is told using rare archives and testimony combined with the latest historical research."--Container.
