Throughout the course of the Second World War, many millions of
animals were enlisted to serve. Though they had no choice, yet they
demonstrated loyalty, determination and bravery as they shared the
burden of war with their human companions both on active service
and on the Home Front. From the dogs trained to locate air-raid
victims buried under rubble, to the mules that carried ammunition
and supplies through the jungles of the Far East, each animal
played a crucial role in the war effort. In fact, such was their
contribution that those animals that showed exceptional gallantry
or devotion to duty were recognised officially with the
introduction of the Dickin Medal in 1943. This fascinating book
draws from first-hand accounts and contemporary sources to reveal
the wide-ranging contributions that animals made both on and off
the battlefield.
