HORSES: cool tribute but I wish I didn't die screaming in a trench with barbed wire around my legs

Animal cruelty

Animal cruelty is what we are doing to the animals now. Back then it was a necessity

I was joking

I assumed so, but you never know, it’s the internet

All of you calling these people stupid do realize that back in world war one the horse was seen as a comrade right? They weren't seen as animals. It's fitting that these men would mourn their fallen horses

My beloved Granpa, who served throughout the Great War, said little about the horrors he witnessed. But he could never pass a horse or donkey, without stopping, stroking, their heads, and silently talking. He cried. Just made me cry, remembering.

you’re in your 90s?

Why would I be in my 90s?

Some of these young people can't understand that, you only have to be in your 60s or 70s to have had a grandparent who was old enough to have served in WWI. Mine left Europe to escape it. Only to have my father service in the next one.

Quite. Both my Grandfathers served in Great War... b 1895, and 1900. Great Uncles, in Boer War.

My grandparents were both born in the mid 1880s. My grandfather had already served in the military by the time he left in 1908 or so & grandmother with 2 aunts came in about 1915 when things were getting heated. Dad was born in 1925 and served USN in WWII. But I am not in my 90s.

so you’re in your late 70s and on twitter. okay sure.

Now, gizor, why are you being such a pratt? Is it that you cannot actually count? Or are you playing at being a moron? I am , little boy, 60. ...think it through....slowly,..... And when you have, ask yourself what age people who invented tech might be.
