Throughout history, in war and peacetime, animals and mankind have worked alongside each other. As swift mounts,
beasts of burden, messengers, protectors, detectors and mascots; boosting morale.
Our war animals have demonstrated true valour and an enduring partnership with humans - the bond is unbreakable, their
sacrifice great. Several hundred thousand horses have left Australian shores to war.
Many more animals, from pigeons to donkeys to dogs and more, have served. Their deeds and sacrifices should never be
forgotten.
