Best Answer

On the Western Front, soldiers lived in mud, rats, fleas, constant grime and misery. Some trenches were no more than shell-holes that happened to be in a line. The horses did not have things much better. Initially they were used in suicidal cavalry charges against modern rifles and machine guns. Later: they were used as draft animals to pull artillery and move supplies. The work was so rough that a horse may survive as much as 18 months, though usually less due to overwork and underfeeding.
