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
