136,000 Australian horses went to The First World War. They were shelled, gassed, starved. They were loved. Those still alive at war's end were abandoned, or shot. All except one. Sandy is the only Australian horse to come home from the war spending his final days in the Maribyrnong remount depot. Through Sandy's eyes we experience the lives of three men who fought in that war. Sandy's unknown story is told through the Major General mortally wounded at Gallipoli, a veterinarian on the Western Front, and the groom who brings Sandy home.
