Ron’s Dogs remembering these heroes to ❤️🙏
Animals have been used in war throughout history, the Second World War being no exception. However training dogs to parachute was exceptional. During World War II, the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion started an adventurous experiment as it prepared for D-Day: enlisting dogs into their ranks. As they prepared for D-Day and the fight against N**i Germany, they developed a new weapon: parachuting dogs. Paradogs were taught to get used to wartime conditions, like aircraft propellers and loud noises. They were also trained to identify the smell of explosives.

The dogs wore their own parachutes and were trained to jump after bones/treats. It would appear that they were not distressed by the experience and after a few practice jumps they would often exit the aircraft without coaxing.

Among these animals were three dogs – Ranee, Bing and Glenn. Bing survived the war and went on to be awarded the Dicken Medal, the Animals Victoria Cross. That was not the last honor for Bing’s service: When he died in 1955, the former paradog was buried in a cemetery of honor for animals northeast of London. Today, one can also find a true-to-life replica of this four-legged hero in the Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Museum in Duxford. Sadly Glenn did not survive, he was killed along with his handler Emile Corteil on D-Day. Glenn is buried with his handler Emile Corteil in the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at Ranville. Ranee, a German Shepherd, was the only female parachuting dog in the war.
