War - Ww1 -Animals At War Poem by Paul Warren
War - Ww1 -Animals At War
In the Great War animals went as soldier's saviours
There were calvary mounts including the Australian whalers
With pigeons flying messages when lines were down
Flying over muddy and shell torn broken ground
And there were dogs in the trenches with the men
As companions and carrying first aid when needed then
Once and a while they would be used for messages
For help for their troops whilst the battle around them rages.

Surprised they weren't using dolphins I guess that came later I cant help but wonder what was in the minds of all these animals witnessing the brutality of war. yet another interesting poetic discourse in history.

Thank you for bringing this horrific fact to our attention. Apparently about 8 million horses died, in the cruelest ways, along with mules and donkeys, dogs and pigeons, as you have highlighted.
