Horses and Mules

by Bill H

 

Has anyone seen the most recent "Forgotten War" exhibit at Duxford? Martin Boswell, a friend and one of the collections managers, did a wonderful job of portraying how the British and other forces won the war in Burma: sheer will, sweat, and the mule. Merrill's marauders fought the same way.

Just goes to show you that regardless of technological developments, good ol' horsepower still does the job. Nope, wouldn't surprise me to see hay and oats are part of today's logistical needs.
