The soldier-horse relationship was nurtured by The British Army because it made the soldier and his horse into an effective fighting unit.Soldiers and their Horsesexplores a complex relationship forged between horses and humans in extreme conditions. As both a social history of Britain in the early twentieth century and a history of the British Army,Soldiers and their Horsesreconciles the hard pragmatism of war with the imaginative and emotional. By carefully overlapping the civilian and the military, by juxtaposing "sense" and "sentimentality," and by considering institutional policy alongside individual experience, the soldier and his horse are re-instated as co-participators in The Great War.Soldiers and their Horsesprovides a valuable contribution to current thinking about the role of horses in history.
