    The gentlemen to whom I am particularly indebted for information which has been utilised in the following pages are : Captain O’Neal, of the S.S. Kelvingrove, and his chief officer, Mr. Simpson ; Captain Newman, of H.M.T. Idaho, and his chief officer, Mr. Norton ; Captain Powles, of H.M.T. Tagus; Captain Ross- Smith, Military Landing Officer at Port Elizabeth ; Mr. Desmond, who is Chief Government Veterinary Surgeon of Adelaide, South Australia; and Lieut.- Colonel Nunn, D.S.O., C.I.E., Deputy Director General of the A.V.D., who has been most kind in furnishing me with various statistics. The photographs in this book were taken by me, while I was on Government transport duty. The existence of the South African war is my excuse for giving as much prominence as I have done to military horse transport and allied subjects. As this book is the outcome of practical experience among horses on board ship, I trust it may be of use to readers who are interested in its important subject. M. H. HAYES, F.R.C.V.S.
