EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of training and preparation at the British War Dog School during World War I. The image shows a group of dogs, both large and small, being acclimatised to the harsh conditions of the trenches. The dogs, who would later be sent to the Front, were an essential part of the military effort during this conflict. Dogs were used in various roles, serving as messengers, sentries, and even attack dogs. Their keen senses and agility made them invaluable assets to the soldiers, who relied on them for communication and protection. In this photograph, we see the dogs learning to navigate the uneven terrain of the trenches, which were often filled with debris and obstacles. The dogs are being trained on a coppiced ground, which was likely used for this purpose due to its rough and uneven surface. The wooden fencing and wattled fence in the background suggest that the training area was enclosed to keep the dogs contained and focused during their training sessions. The image is a poignant reminder of the important role that animals played in the military during World War I. These dogs, along with horses and pigeons, were essential members of the armed forces, and their contributions should not be forgotten in the annals of history. This photograph, taken between 1914 and 1918, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both the dogs and the soldiers who trained them. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this global conflict and the crucial role that animals played in the reconstruction and defense of the world during this time.
