Unsung heroes of World War I: the carrier pigeons
Posted on January 8, 2018 by jessiekratz
Today’s post comes from Garet Anderson-Lind from the National Archives History Office.
World War I was one of the first great wars during the industrial revolution. From the introduction of airplanes to the use of tanks and railway guns on the battlefield, soldiers had to contend not only with each other but with the productions of the factory floor. Even the recent invention of the telephone made its way into battlefield units, where soldiers used it to convey orders or direct artillery fire.
