fuck yeah military with puppies!

During the conflict soldiers became incredibly attached to the animals with whom they experienced the terror and hardship of the battlefield. One army captain writing from Belgium in March 1916, on receipt of a Blue Cross veterinary chest, said: “Many things are sent to my men, but these are the first things I have ever got for my horses, and could they speak I suppose they’d express gratitude, and for the men I really believe all my chaps would rather have something for their “long-faced chums,” as they call them, than for themselves.”
