The Use of Animals During World War I Animals were used in World War One for transport, messages and attacks. Each animal have a good use, and are one of the most useful ‘tools’ for the War. We will be looking on: The Pigeon The HorseThe Dog

The Use of Animals During World War I The Pigeon: Pigeons were used throughout the Front Line to communicate with Allies and send important messages to each other. Pigeons play a very important role during the War, they were difficult to catch, even almost impossible. Because of their speed they were able to send messages quite quickly. For pigeons to find their way to get home, they stayed at lofts before they were used during the war; whenever they were taken away from their loft, they would surely return home with the message without a problem!

The Use of Animals During World War I The Horse: Horses were used throughout the Frontline on all sides of the War. They were used for transport for both humans and weapons and equipment. Horses played a useful role during the war, they were used for Cavalry Battles. They were also often used to carry the Artillery close by the Front Line. Hundreds and thousands of Horses were used on all sides of the War, but very little survived and most of them have died.

The Use of Animals During World War I The Dog: Dogs were used within trenches to send messages between each other. Dogs were proven useful because of how well trained they were, their fast speed and travelling over any type of terrain. They were messengers. Not only were they used to send messages throughout the trench, but also served as a little companion to soldiers, to remind them of home comforts. Some dogs were even just attack dogs, to kill the enemies who attack near by.

Well this is the end of it. :) Hope you enjoyed my Power Point presentation! Hope to be able to improve anything, the next time I do this kind of presentation. Thank you! -Claire Leon 9M
