ANIMALS IN THE WARS -

There were many animals present in wars. This was because they had very important jobs.

There were 3 main animals … carrier pigeons, dogs and horses.

horsesHorses were used for transportation, to get to one place and to carry supplies. Horses are also fast runners which means that if there was any danger they would be able to escape easily. They were also good in charging so were used in part of the cavalry.

Carrier pigeons were used to send messages along to the front line, headquarters etc.They were very important because they would be able to deliver letters to different places quickly .

Carrier pigeons were able to fly long distances quickly. They would be able to travel up to 96km per day.

DOGS.Dogs were also used to carry messages during the first world war.

Humans preferred dogs because they can run faster for longer and on any type of ground.
