Overview

Deze documentaire vertelt hun buitengewone, ontroerende verhaal, te beginnen met de massale oproep van paarden van elke boerderij en landgoed in het land. Racecommentator Brough Scott vertelt het verhaal van zijn aristocratische grootvader, generaal Jack Seely, en zijn geliefde paard Warrior, dat het beroemdste paard van de oorlog zou worden. Het Britse leger hoopte dat zijn illustere cavalerieregimenten een snelle overwinning zouden behalen, maar het zou jaren duren voordat ze van hun moment van glorie konden genieten. In plaats daarvan waren in een nieuw tijdperk van gemechaniseerde loopgravenoorlog de zware paarden die wapens, munitie en voedsel naar de fronttroepen vervoerden het belangrijkst. Een kwart miljoen van deze paarden stierven door granaatscherven en ziekten. Maar de diepe band die tussen mens en paard ontstond, hielp beiden de hel van de Somme en Passendale te overleven.

War Horse The Real Story

Taglines

Overview

The truth about the million British horses that served in World War I is even more epic than Steven Spielberg’s War Horse feature film. This documentary tells their extraordinary, moving story, begining with the mass call-up of horses from every farm and country estate in the land. Racing commentator Brough Scott tells the tale of his aristocratic grandfather General Jack Seely and his beloved horse Warrior, who would become the most famous horse of the war. The British Army hoped its illustrious cavalry regiments would win a swift victory, but it would be years before they enjoyed their moment of glory. Instead, in a new era of mechanised trench warfare, the heavy horses transporting guns, ammunition and food to the front-line troops were most important. A quarter of a million of these horses died from shrapnel wounds and disease. But the deep bond that developed between man and horse helped both survive the hell of the Somme and Passchendaele.

Hadak útján - Az első világháború lovai

Taglines

Overview

Az első világháborúban több mint negyedmillió ló pusztult el a harctéren vagy különböző betegségekben, s amikor véget ért a vérontás, a túlélő paripák még mindig nem lélegezhettek fel: közülük 85 ezer példány, jórészt az öregebbek, az éhező lakosság asztalán végezte. A film az első világháborúban szolgált egymillió brit lónak állít emléket, melyek közül a Warrior nevű példány valóságos nemzeti hőssé vált - amint a műsorból kiderül, nem véletlenül.
