Amazing true stories of heroic Australian Walers and New Zealand horses, 1914-1918.

This remarkable but true collection has been assembled from a large variety of First World War sources. It records the role animals played in environments which were completely alien to them. For all the animals that served us so well, only a handful left their mark in history.

This book by Jill Mather, not only commemorates the role our Australian and New Zealand horses played in a war which saw eight million animals perish in the bloodiest of battles, but preserves this collection of stories to be re-told almost one hundred years later. Jill presents the deeds of the unknown alongside the well known horses, donkeys, mules and dogs. They were all heroes.
