In the First World War, horses and cavalry were still in the mind set of those Generals and Politicians in control. Horses, like the men, suffered from machine gun bullets and bomb blasts, mainly from frontal attacks over flat ground into the field of fire from German machine guns. Where horses were important was when the battle field turned to mud, so deep that often mechanical vehicles could not move. Guns could still sometimes be moved with horses and many soldiers pushing the gun carriage.
