Horses Honoured in their Country's Service | August 1914 and After | Episode 18

The survivors are advanced in years, but have by no means lost the gallant spirit which enabled them to endure hardship and danger at the call of duty. Here is shown a unique collection of portraits of some of these old pensioners, happy and contented in their declining years.
