The First World War Diaries of Stapleton Tench Eac 08/10/16
Heavily very rained this morning, got wet through coming down from the ticket to the castle.
On duty at 8.30 am up to 1 pm.
Spent afternoon and evening at Pont Noyelle.
There is quite a Lack of interesting occurrences Lately, except I ha Read more ... ve beens Those qui reiterating time after time.
There are loads of rumors as per usual, Such As que la French Will shortly retake the trenches qui the 4th Army (British) now occupy, and That We `shall proceed to Belgium to relieve the French troops there.
It is a fact That our troops are congregating allies in Freakencourt not far from here, purpose Personally I construe from this Possibly That They Are Intended to supporting the British operations there this front.
It est aussi Asserted That leave to our troops has been discontinued Indefinitely and That Will only be Granted permission for leave to be taken at rest camps in France.
At the moment it is not possible to say if this is to true or not. It is feasible and likely HOWEVER even, Considering the wide number of troops now in France, qui Would Rather necessitate a broad amount of tonnage being white reserved for the purpose of carrying soldiers to leave and from England.
On duty again at 9 pm.

Horses in World War I:
The use of horses in World War I marked a transitional period in the evolution of armed conflict.
Cavalry units were initially considered essential offensive elements of a military force, but over the course of the war, the vulnerability of horses to modern machine gun and artillery fire reduced their utility on the battlefield.
This paralleled the development of tanks, which would ultimately replace cavalry in shock tactics.
While the perceived value of the horse in war changed dramatically, horses still played a significant role throughout the war.
The military mainly used horses for logistical support during the war; they were better than mechanized vehicles at traveling through deep mud and over rough terrain. Horses were used for reconnaissance and for carrying messengers, as well as pulling artillery, ambulances, and supply wagons.

Message dogs:
Were considered by some as the real heros of the war, they were credited with indirectly saving thousands of lives, by delivering vital dispatches when phone lines broke down, in between units at the front and the headquarters behind.
Barbed wire, slit trenches, shell holes and chemical gases were among the many obstacles faced by these brave dogs.
