Vets at War is a military history book of the Australian Army Veterinary Corps, which was formed in 1909. The most important period for the unit was World War One when the 'HORSE WAS KING' of transportation. When the Army became fully mechanised the unit was disbanded . Even though the Corps existed only 37 years it played a vital military role. From the Sudan Contingent, the South Africa war, World War 1 and 2, veterinarians have provided professional care for horses and other animals of the Australian Army. 

However most of the book is devoted to World War One.
