Tammy was not a man, but a horse. In this tribute to Tammy, Barrowsgate notes the crucial role that horses such as Tammy played in the Great War and observes that they witnessed just as much horror as their human counterparts. At the time of writing (1937) Tammy was seeing out his days working for Adam Duthie & Co., grocers in Tarves. Barrowsgate’s love of horses is evident throughout this touching biography.
