In the War Hospitals for Horses 



A hospital has been 

 estabhshed in Kent 

 for victims of the 

 war whose names 

 do not appear on 

 any casualty list. 

 The inmates are 

 horses which have 

 been wounded or 

 have contracted ill- 

 ness, and are being 

 cared for by the 

 Army Veterinary 

 Corps, whose work 

 is almost as impor- 

 tant as that of 

 hospitalsfor soldiers 



Horses, like men, are not all 

 anxious to get to the front, 

 but as they have not the priv- 

 ilege of volunteering, force has 

 sometimes to be used. The horse 

 on the right evidently objects 

 seriously to conscription 



In German hospitals for horses 

 the best of care is taken of the 

 dumb animals, and special or- 

 ganizations have been formed 

 for the sole purpose of treating 

 injured horses. The horse on 

 the left has just undergone an 

 operation upon an injured hoof
