On today’s episode, The History Guy tells the history of two kinds of animals and their use in warfare, especially their use in WWI. First he tells the story of Pigeons, from their domestication to their use as messengers on European battlefields in WWI. Then he tells the story of mercy dogs, also called hospital dogs, who searched the barren “no man’s land” for injured soldiers throughout the Great War.

This is original content based on research by The History Guy. Images in the Public Domain are carefully selected and provide illustration. As very few images of the actual event are available in the Public Domain, images of similar objects and events are used for illustration.

All events are portrayed in historical context and for educational purposes. No images or content are primarily intended to shock and disgust. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Non censuram.
