A portrait of Veterinary Officer (Captain) later Major Stanley Allen Mountjoy, 8th Australian Light Horse of Lorne. As an officer Mountjoy enjoyed the privilege (unlike most rank and file) of carrying a camera with him. He accumulated a vast album of photographs during the course of his war service. stanley mountjoy, ww1, world war 1, aif, a.i.f

Post mortem? As a veterinary officer Stan Mountjoy became expert in the care and treatment of troop horses and his skill won him commendation from Army Command. The horse carcass, inside a perimeter fence suggests it died at a depot, not in combat. The rigors of the deserts often meant there were several hundred cases of sick horses and mules each week. post mortem, veterinary, horse, war, world war 1, ww1, soldiers, officers, light horse, vet
