The Real War Horse
This is the epic story of the life and death of the one million horses, mules and donkeys that were sent to the Western Front to assist the British army in World War One. Tragically 933,000 died, with only 67,000 returning home.
The story has recently captured the public imagination with the huge success of the West End play “War Horse” based on Michael Morpurgo’s children’s novel of the same name - now we bring the harsh realities of the horse’s war experience vividly to life with rare, high quality black and white archive.
