About this ebook
Throughout the course of the Second World War, many millions of animals were enlisted to serve. Though they had no choice, yet they demonstrated loyalty, determination and bravery as they shared the burden of war with their human companions both on active service and on the Home Front. From the dogs trained to locate air-raid victims buried under rubble, to the mules that carried ammunition and supplies through the jungles of the Far East, each animal played a crucial role in the war effort. In fact, such was their contribution that those animals that showed exceptional gallantry or devotion to duty were recognised officially with the introduction of the Dickin Medal in 1943. This fascinating book draws from first-hand accounts and contemporary sources to reveal the wide-ranging contributions that animals made both on and off the battlefield.

Reviews for Animals in the Second World War
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I did not know what to expect upon reading this book, partly because I initially read this book for research purposes. However, this particular passage in the introduction captured me instantly: 'Animals had no choice about serving – many of the men would laugh and say that, thanks to the introduction of conscription in Britain when war broke out in 1939, they didn’t have a choice either, so man and animal in the military had something in common to start with.' The next thing I know, I have finished the book. This book provides me with some insights and helps me empathise with all those animals and animal owners in the Second World War.
