Animal in War Dedication Project
Throughout history, in war and in peacetime, animals and mankind have worked alongside each other.
The bond is unbreakable, their sacrifice great – we honour the animals of war.
As beasts of burden, messengers, protectors, mascots, and friends, the war animals have demonstrated true valour and an enduring partnership with humans.
