EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we see Chris Kennedy and his horse Chaos standing at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast. The image serves as a powerful tribute to the Australian Army Veterinary Corps (aVC) and their significant role in military history. From the Sudan and South African wars to both World Wars, veterinarians and their assistants played a vital part in providing professional care for various animals within the Australian Army. The connection between Kennedy and Chaos is evident, showcasing the bond formed between soldiers and their loyal animal companions during times of war. As they prepare to participate in the annual Anzac Day dawn service at Currumbin Beach, it is a reminder of the sacrifices made by both humans and animals alike. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes bravery, resilience, and camaraderie. It pays homage to all those who served with dedication in preserving our freedom while highlighting an often overlooked aspect of warfare – caring for our four-legged heroes. Taken by Dave Hunt from Australian Associated Press (AAP), this image stands as an iconic representation of Australia's military history. Its editorial use only emphasizes its historical significance rather than any commercial purpose. As we reflect upon this snapshot from 2019, let us remember those who have selflessly served our nation throughout generations past.
