Our horses in Egypt

Description:

"Philomena is requisitioned from a Dorset field in 1914 and serves with the yeomanry in Egypt and Palestine until the end of the First World War. But she doesn't come back to England : thousands of British Army horses are sold off locally. Faint news of her reaches Griselda Romney, her old owner. So she sets sail for Egypt to find Philomena and bring her home."--Jacket.
