Author Description

An anthology in three Parts. From a description on the Great War Forum Part 1 is an over view of the mule in service with the British and Indian army from the early years of the 19th Century to the close of the Hong Kong based R.C.T. unit in the 70's and deals with all the wars in between, but looks at both the Great War and the campaigns of WW2 in particular. Part 2 deals with the Indian Army Transport mules and part 3 is about the Mountain Artillery. It is full of wonderful accounts of these great animals and their devoted handlers as well as much in the way of useful information about numbers used, sizes, dates and other figures. This book is held in the Library of the Imperial War Museums, catalogue number LBY 02/1129
