Remembrance Day – Lest We Forget

Remembrance Day – Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget our four legged diggers who served as well ๐Ÿ•Š๐Ÿ•๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ›๐Ÿด

 

 

Did you know the traditional red poppy worn to mark Armistice Day (Remembrance Day) 11 November, that there is also a purple poppy, remembering animals who served in War.

 

Working alongside these brave men and women were animals. Animals had a significant role in War.

 

๐ŸดMules & horses hauled ammunition over treacherous terrain also carried troops & equipment.

 

๐Ÿ•Dogs were used as messengers, to guard valuable military equipment, as bomb detectors, and for search and rescue missions. A dogs senses would pick up the hum of enemy planes two minutes before any soldier. Just before a deadly bombing, his signal of sitting, barking and then dashing for the trenches, would give precious time for all the soldiers to run for cover.

 

๐Ÿ•ŠCarrier pigeons delivered messages to specific destinations and were said to be the most dependable way of sending a message during the war.

 

๐Ÿ›Collected in jars, Glowworms provided much needed light in the trenches for officers to study battle maps and soldiers to read their letters from home.

 

๐Ÿช๐Ÿ˜Other animals were also seen on the battle fields.

 

Today we recognize the importance of both humans and animals who had and continue to serve.
