βAs it is considered a point of honour for the Machine Gunner to keep his gun firing under all circumstances, so it should be a point of honour for the driver to keep his animal always in a fit condition and ready for any emergency.
This can only be done by the utmost attention to the animals: watering, feeding, grooming and correct harnessing. π Very often the animal is put down as lazy or bad tempered when the fault really lies with the man in whose care it is β
