First World War Blue Cross Fundraising for Warhorses
The Blue Cross is remembering the real horses who fought and died in the First World War. The charity, which has an animal rehoming centre in Kimpton, near Hitchin, gained its name from its vital work helping horses and other animals who were
sick or injured during the war.
Formerly known as Our Dumb Friends League, the charity launched a 'Blue Cross Fund' in 1912 which raised money all over the world to help animals in both world wars. During the Great War, it provided animal hospitals, ambulances and veterinary supplies to the front lines, marked with a blue cross to distinguish them from red cross facilities for injured men.
