    Ponies and horses played an important role in World War II. They were used for transport but also saw heavy casualties on the battlefield. Ponies, being smaller than horses, were initially used to move people and supplies. However, many ponies and horses lost their lives during ambushes and battles, as described by an eyewitness who saw their corpses scattered across a battlefield. The document also provides background on the differences between ponies and horses, as well as an example of a unique Portuguese breed of horse.

    Ponies and Horses during World

    War II
    By Molly Brownrigg
    A Quote From A Man During WW2
    • After the ambush, dead men and horses
    seemed to be scattered everywhere; lying in
    the road and on the hillside. I looked into the
    nullah and saw dead men in the stream. One
    horse, I remember, was on its back in the
    water; its legs pointing skywards. Other
    horses, more fortunate perhaps, were
    roaming around here and there.
