During the Second World War, millions of animals were enlisted to serve. Although they had no choice, they showed loyalty, dedication, and bravery, sharing the burden of war with their human companions, both in active service and on the Home Front. From dogs trained to locate victims of air raids under rubble, to donkeys carrying ammunition and supplies through the jungles of the Far East, each animal played a crucial role in the war effort. In fact, their contribution was so significant that animals displaying exceptional bravery or dedication were officially recognized with the introduction of the Dickin Medal in 1943. This fascinating book draws from authentic testimonies and contemporary sources to reveal the broad contributions animals made both on the battlefield and beyond.
