| Description | Au Revoir to Jack and Jill 1939 |
| Details |
A somewhat contrived imaginary scene, depicting gunners waving goodbye to 'Jack and Jill', horses that once played a far more intrinsic role in warfare, as they travel off in caterpillar tractor to 'face the dangers of the barrage'. Horses were still used during World War Two but in a limited capacity, usually for short-distance work, often over difficult terrain.
