These stories form an important link between the ANZACS and their horses. This book not only commemorates the role our Australian and New Zealand horses played in a war which saw eight million animals perish in the bloodiest of battles, but preserves this collection of stories to be re-told almost one hundred years later. Here the author presents the deeds of the unknown, alongside the well-known Waler horses, donkeys, mules and dogs. They were all heroes.

The horses and mules were there too. This book records the amazing contribution made by the thousands animals landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Mesopotamia and Egypt in World War One. This is a book you won't be able to put down and in the reading you will gain a great compassion for these brave animals. This is a book you won't be able to put down and in the reading you will gain not only a great compassion for these brave horses, but you too will want to help preserve and protect the less than 1% of the descendants who exist in Australia today.
