WAR HORSE AND BROUGH'S GRANDFATHER'S CHARGER WARRIOR

WARRIOR

Warrior, the story of Brough’s grandfather’s charger is in many ways the pole reverse of this, and yet both this book, a true story, and War Horse are united in that they tell of the simple, unspoken, uncomplaining nobility of the horse.

"First published in 1934, Warrior: The Amazing Story of a Real War Horse, is told by Winston Churchill’s great heroic friend, Jack Seely, about how he took Warrior to France in 1914, surviving five years of bombs and bullets to lead a cavalry charge in 1918 before returning home where they rode on together until 1938; their combined ages (70 + 30) totalling 100.

"The book tells the whole history of Warrior, from his birth on the Isle of Wight to his amazing life as a famous war horse leading the Canadian cavalry and how a combination of both the horse’s extraordinary character and some unbelievable twists of fate, helped him survive a war which claimed the lives of 8 million horses. As well as an Introduction by Brough and a Preface by Sir Peter O’Sullevan, the book includes the original illustrations which equine and war artist Sir Alfred Munnings drew especially for Jack Seely both during the war and at home afterwards. ...

BROUGH'S REFLECTION " Both this book, (Warrior) a true story, and War Horse (Steven Spielberg's film War Horse) are united in that they tell of the simple, unspoken, uncomplaining nobility of the horse."

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH REFLECTION "This is vintage Spielberg: powerful,  courageous and honest."

JMC TURFCALL REFLECTION "So many gave so much, including the horses, to allow us our to-day.
