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 Horses explores 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 Horses reconciles 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 Horses
provides a valuable contribution to current thinking about the role
of horses in history.
