Speaker Jed Dunham presents
The Veterinarian’s War: Lieutenant Harry Hunt in the World War
Freelance writer Jed Dunham, founder of the “48 Fallen 48 Found Project” will present “The Veterinarian’s War: Lieutenant Harry Hunt in the World War.” In 1917, Kansas State Agricultural College graduate Harry Hunt followed his country into World War I and was sent to France as a large animal veterinarian tasked with caring for the beasts that pulled the guns of war. The things Lt. Hunt saw, recorded in vivid detail in the letters he sent home, describe a time often forgotten by history.
The presentation is in conjunction with the exhibition Kansas Veterinarian at Work: A Portrait by Tom Mohr on view February 7 – June 17, 2017.
