Why are Horses so important in war?



Foremost Horses in war. Why were they Important?


By EDEN DWYER


Everyone knows that men had to fight in the wars and they had to take their part. But not only men took their part in war. There were horses too, around 6 million horses went to war.The horses in war were very foremost to the soldiers because they can go through what carts or drivers in wagons can’t. Like big floods and heavy mud. The horses were told to go to war to work by carrying things on their tired backs. They were like slaves. They had to cross dangerous
rivers. Horses were brave in those vile days of working. The horses were used for communication or to put supplies on and so on. I’m telling you again that the horses were very important because they were playing a hard role for a horse in the war. They carry more weight than the soldiers who travel to war.


Most of their transportation were roads and railways. They had to cope with the ghastly conditions. In the hard rocky roads, railheads and rare trenches. Though the horses weren’t suppose to be in the trenches.


Soldiers depended on their horses to carry their weapons and anything they need.
But if the horse is sick and falls down and can’t do anymore,the soldiers sadly had to kill them or leave them slowly dying over the night with no help. But sadly,only 62,000 horses came back. There were animals like
dogs for a mascot, pigeons to send messages, camels, elephants even.

At School I have to make a Newspaper Report about why Horses are so important in war. I love doing this because their were interesting facts and its in History. Maybe I should work on writing more information about horses. About what they did after the abhorrent war. I thought the horses were very brave and had a lot of courage. It must have been hard work. Working for the soldiers. I couldn't get my real newspaper on the blog because my newspaper that had the info was a bit small. So I created this instead. Because the computer won't do as it was told properly, at least the info is there. I hope you have found this interesting because I tried to get this on the blog.

Flashback

At school We are learning to write a flashback for a different perspective and use show not tell. I have been writing about a person called Sam in the story called "The Anzac Puppy". I had to be Sam in the story . I enjoyed doing it because it's based on fact and it's part of history. The story was written by Peter Millet and illustrated by Trish Bowels .
I think I should work on making sure the descriptive words make sense in a sentence. I feel like I have done well. I just need to make sure my sentences make sense and NO mistakes.

It all began in the year 1915. I was young then. It was 16 degrees. The wind was bitter and outside everywhere was frosty on the Western Front. Crash!Smash! The guns were blaring making my ears ring. They were ringing and ringing. But I couldn’t help it. I was trudging in the trenches. Under there it was scandalous and muddy. Everything above me was in ruins. Everything was frosty but I had to keep on going. So I proceeded and stomped. But I had a friend with me. A Great Dane puppy with white fur that was like the shining moonlight. Black spots that were like the bullets of the gun.

I kept on trudging. But I can’t take it no more. I’m so vexed I feel like I have sorrow in me. I’m heartbroken and filled with anger and getting high tempered. My heart making me panic. Blood going everywhere in me. I could see my veins in the flesh of my skin. Bloodshed everywhere. They were like red paint oozing out of the courage and brave men. Panicked-stricken by the thought of seeing brave and courage men gone rapidly like the bullet of the gun. Sergeants, Lieutenants and corporals. I stood there like the brink of silence. Wishing it was over.     File:Harlequin Great Dane in 1910.jpg - Wikimedia Commons

My very intrigued Leader Creature


For the past few days, I have been doing things about my leader creature. It was challenging because you have to write facts what they do as a leader. I hope you enjoy my info about my leader creature. It was interesting because I had to make my creature into clay. Then paint it. Comment on my Leader Creature and give some me helpful feedback's. :)

My Basic Facts


In class I have been busy trying my best to do my basic facts. It was really challenging because I need to think very rapidly to put my answers down. That was for timing basic facts. But when doing the sheet I felt a little bit confident. I tell you I don't like maths and numbers ain't my friend.
