ABOUT
A commemoration of those animals whose bravery in war is an inspiration and humbling in its simplicity.
Animals have always served alongside soldiers and many have shown outstanding courage in action, going beyond the bounds of training and duty to display selfless displays of devotion.
Delving into often elusive source material and interviewing eye-witnesses, where possible, Evelyn Le Chêne reveals previously unrecorded details about these unsung heroes and diligently uncovers the true stories behind such silent heroes of human wars as Rob, the collie who served with the SAS in north Africa and Italy during World War Two and was awarded the Dickin Medal for bravery, and reveals, for the first time, the key role played by pigeons in communicating between Allied agents and French resistance fighters.
Includes monochrome images, maps.
