The Forgotten Heroes
In preparation for Remembrance Day, we very proudly put together a heart-warming video.
Alongside the people, animals were very much a part of our past war history. Horses, donkeys and mules carried food, water, ammunition and medical supplies to soldiers on the front line and dogs and pigeons carried messages. Canaries were used to detect poisonous gas and cats and dogs were trained to hunt rats in the trenches.
Dogs were not only used for service work but also kept as pets and mascots to raise morale and provide comfort amidst the hardships of war.
Our video below remembers the heroes of war and the sacrifices they made. We will not forget them or those that continue to face war and unrest.
We are so proud of our staff and volunteers for their help in creating this moving video.
It is to become part of our wider educational work within the community so the animals that served in the wars and those that continue to do so are not forgotten.
We are creating a garden of remembrance at the centre so when people visit there will be information boards, stories and sculptures regarding the roles that animals played. A peaceful and thoughtful place where one can learn about the past and pay respect to our forgotten heroes.
