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.

Did animals get fed the amount of food they needed in World War 1?

During World War I, the feeding of animals, particularly those used in military operations such as horses and mules, was often inadequate due to supply shortages and prioritization of human needs. While efforts were made to provide for these animals, many faced malnutrition and poor conditions as resources were stretched thin. Additionally, changing military strategies and the introduction of mechanization reduced the reliance on animals, further complicating their care and feeding. Overall, the amount of food provided to animals varied significantly based on location and circumstances.
