A million horses went to war... only 65,000 came back
Up to a million horses were killed serving with Allied troops in the First World War.

Despite many people assuming the conflict was all about brutal trench warfare, the truth is cavalry men still charged into battle on horseback.

Their loyal steeds were also vital for dispatching messages and taking guns, men and supplies to the front, and casualties back to safety.

In fact, during the four-year campaign the British Army shipped more tonnes of animal food overseas than ammunition.

Being a Cynic Linked to Tripled Risk of Yelling at Your Own Gardner To Get Off Your Lawn!
Cynics are three times more likely to develop dementia than those who have faith in humanity, a study has shown. Believing that others are motivated by selfishness, or that they lie to get what they want, appears to radically increase the risk of cognitive decline in later life.
