Remembering not only the soldiers, but animals who also lost their lives ❤️
Many people may not realise that during wartime, cats served as companions and kept ships free of vermin! 🐈
In addition to the contributions of cats, mules carried artillery, horses transported troops and hauled field guns, pigeons delivered crucial messages and dogs served as messengers, medical assistants, bomb detectors and search and rescue workers, symbolizing courage and loyalty.
Their contribution is a significant part of honoring the memory of those who served! 🐎🫏🕊️🐶🐈
It is estimated that 484,143 horses, mules, camels and bullocks died during the First World War and an unknown amount of dogs, cats, pigeons and other animals. 😿
On 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲, we want to honour both the veterans and the animals who bravely served by their side. 🌺❤️
