Categories: Canadian Expeditionary Force, World War I

The Great War came at a time when horses were still a primary means of transportation and played a crucial role in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). In an era of growing mechanization and technological development, horses and mules still provided the overwhelming bulk of draught power in the combat zone. Those who would win war needed to have lots of horses and they had to be healthy horses. By the Armistice of 11 November 1918, the CEF alone utilized 24,134 horses and mules in France and Belgium. The task of overseeing their health and working efficiency fell to just a few officers and enlisted personnel of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps (CAVC) - 73 Veterinary Officers and 780 Other Ranks.
