Riding Into War

- The Memoir of a Horse Transport Driver, 1916-1919

Bag om Riding Into War

"I believe my saddle horse knew more than I did . . . He took care of me." The popular image of the Great War is of the trenches, but Jimmie Johnston experienced the triumph of Vimy and the hell of Passchendaele from a saddle. A horse driver in the transport section of the Canadian Machine Gun Corps, he hauled machine guns and ammunition to the front lines through shellfire, darkness, driving rain, and suffocating mud.
