During World War I, horses played a crucial role in the military efforts of various countries, serving as mounts for cavalry units, transport animals for supplies and artillery, and in some cases, as ambulances for injured soldiers. They were used for reconnaissance, communication, and logistics, often enduring harsh conditions on the front lines. Millions of horses were employed, but many suffered from the brutal realities of war, leading to significant casualties among these animals. As mechanization increased, however, their use diminished, marking a shift in military strategies.
