Book of the Week: Brave Bess and the ANZAC Horses by Susan Brocker

A true story of courage and loyalty. Bess and her companions overcame their fear to stand by their masters on the battlefields, often in harsh desert conditions. There are pictures throughout the book of the wonderful, brave horses that went to war.  In fact, 10,238 horses were sent to war between 1914 and 1916, of these only Bess came home again. .

Come and see the display in the library. You are welcome to take any of the other horse books in the display but Brave Bess will not be available until next week. Ask a librarian how to reserve it.
