| Details |
An ambulance for wounded horses on the battlefield : the Canadian Mounted Veterinary Corps at work with field artillery. Men of the Mounted Section of the Canadian Veterinary Corps are seen collecting wounded horses in the firing line of the field artillery. An animal wounded in one of its forelegs is being assisted to the ambulance wagon by four men supporting it with a blanket under its belly while another is leading it. The wounded horses receive first aid and are then taken to a Base Veterinary Hospital. If the wound is too severe, the animal is humanely put out of its misery.
