EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we are reminded of the indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication of the Australian Army Veterinary Corps (aVC). Captured on Currumbin Beach, Gold Coast, on April 23, 2019, Chris Kennedy and his horse Chaos stand alongside Damon Hughes and his trusty companion Maverick. Together, they pay tribute to the aVC's invaluable contribution throughout history. From their involvement in the Sudan and South African wars to World War I and II, veterinarians and their assistants played a vital role in providing professional care for various animals within the Australian Army. Horses, mules, camels, dogs, and pigeons all received expert attention from these unsung heroes. As Kennedy and Chaos prepare to participate in the annual Anzac Day dawn service at Currumbin Beach on Thursday—an event that holds deep significance for Australians—they embody both remembrance and resilience. The poppies adorning their uniforms symbolize sacrifice while honoring those who have fallen in war. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Australia's military heritage—a tradition deeply ingrained within its national identity. It also highlights the enduring bond between humans and animals during times of conflict. Let us reflect upon this photograph as we commemorate Anzac Day—remembering not only those who fought bravely but also those who cared selflessly for our loyal animal companions amidst chaos.
