Download or read book Pigeons in the Great War: A Complete History of the Carrier-Pigeon Service During the Great War, 1914 to 1918 written by Lt -Col A. H. Osman and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2023-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unusual full and detailed history of the Carrier-Pigeon Service in WW1, conducted under the direction of the author who was the editor of "The Racing Pigeon" and later Lieutenant Colonel of the service. As well as a good history of the formation and arrangements of the Carrier-Pigeon service, there is a roll of some hundreds of pigeons who performed particularly meritorious service, with details of some of these services, plus illustrations of equipment, birds and personnel involved. Osman helped make officials aware of the valuable role pigeons could play in wartime communications, and became head of the Home Office Pigeon Service. The birds were vital to the army and navy - for example, they were used to communicate between Royal Navy ships that didn't have wireless telegraph systems. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig mentioned the Carrier-Pigeon Service in his despatch from France and Flanders of 25 December 1917: "The Carrier Pigeon Service has also been greatly developed during the present year, and has proved extremely valuable for conveying information from attacking units to the headquarters of their formations." "Quite 100,000 pigeons passed through my hands for active service" & that "Towards the end of the war 150 British mobile lofts, with complete equipment, wee on active service on the French & Italian fronts. This will give some little idea of the extent & usefulness of the service..." Lt.-Col. A.H.Osman

Book Synopsis Animals in the First World War by : Neil R. Storey
Download or read book Animals in the First World War written by Neil R. Storey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burden of the Great War was not shouldered by soldiers alone: the tasks, the camaraderie, the day-to-day life and the devastation were all shared with the animals that accompanied the forces abroad. The horses that took part in the last cavalry charges or hauled heavy guns are the most famous examples, but were far from alone: pigeons carried vital messages, dogs sniffed out wounded soldiers, camels were used as beasts of burden in the desert, and even ships' cats and baby orang-utans had their parts to play. From noted historian Neil R. Storey, this book looks at all the practical ways in which animals were essential to the war effort, but is equally interested in their roles as companions, mascots and morale boosters – on land, in the air and at sea. Neil R. Storey is a social and military historian specialising in the impact of war on society. He has written over twenty-five books, countless articles and has given lectures across the UK, including at the Imperial War Museum. He has acted as a consultant on a number of television documentaries and dramas.

Download or read book Animals In War written by Jilly Cooper and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pigeons carrying vital messages to and from the beleaguered city during the Siege of Paris; horses and mules struggling through miles of fetid mud to bring ammunition to the front in the Great War; dogs sniffing out mines for the British invasion force in the Second World War - countless brave animals have played their part in the long, cruel history of war. Some have won medals for gallantry - like G.I. Joe, the American pigeon who saved 100 British lives in Italy, and Rob, the black and white mongrel who made over twenty parachute jumps with the SAS. Too many others have died abandoned, in agony and alone, after serving their country with distinction. Jilly Cooper has here written a tribute to the role of animals in wartime. It is a tragic and horrifying story - yet it has its lighter moments too: a hilarious game of musical chairs played on camels during the Desert Campaign; and the budgie who remarked, when carried from a bombed-out East End tenement, 'This is my night out'. This is a vivid and unforgettable record of man's inhumanity to animals, but also an astonishing story of courage, intelligence, devotion and resilience.
