Details |
Page from The Illustrated London News showing the work of French war dogs with the ambulance service who were trained to find wounded men on the battlefield and bring back a fallen man's helmet. Other photographs show the dogs with their trainers, scaling a 10 ft fence and wearing gas masks. The final two pictures show the care taken over dogs. In one, the dog is being given a bath at the Maison Lafitte Kennels and in another the comfortable 'billets' are pictured.
