Museum friend Laura Brown has published #3 in her series on the animals of World War I.  This month she examines the huge role horses played in that war.  Do you think you know the whole story?  Bet you don't, and I think you will be surprised.  (Also sorry.  War is hell.)  Please read Laura's excellent article here.
