When waging war against each other, human armies often enlist the aid of the animal kingdom. In past conflicts, horses, elephants, and camels hauled men and supplies; pigeons carried messages; dogs tracked enemies and protected troops. Their efforts helped to turn battles—and the fortunes of many a combat soldier.


Carrying on this tradition, U.S. forces employed thousands of animals during World War II. They could be found in every theater of the war: They were workers and warriors; they were soldiers' comrades-in-arms and companions in battle. Their widespread presence on the battlefields was documented by government photographers covering the war. Today, hundreds of photographs of dogs and cats and horses can be found among the World War II holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Still Picture Branch in College Park, Maryland.


In 1993 NARA opened "Buddies: Soldiers and Animals in World War II," a display of thirty-six of those images. Part of the NARA commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, the exhibit is now traveling to museums throughout the country.

Workers and Warriors


Horses, mules, and dogs were regularly employed by American forces to work on the battlefields of World War II. Horses carried soldiers on patrol missions in Europe and into battle in the Philippines. Mules, trained in the United States and shipped by the thousands into war zones, contributed their strength and sweat to the fight. Their backs bore the food, weapons, and sometimes the men of entire infantry units.

Misconceptions About Love at First Sight We’ve all heard the meet-cutes where a couple’s eyes locked across a crowded room at a party or they bumped into each other at a bar and that was it!

 Candice Warner abused in front of her kids at an Australian cricket match sportbible.com | 2h fb tw wa Candice Warner has opened up about the ‘vile abuse’ she received from a group of cricket fans whilst her daughters were by her side. The wife of Aussie cricketer David Warner broke down last week after opening up about the ‘hell’ her family had been through as a result of ‘Sandpapergate’ scandal. The 2018 ball-tampering scandal in South Africa has once again been given the limelight after David Warner withdrew his request to overturn his leadership ban.

He wrote on Instagram: “My family is more important to me than cricket.” His wife Candice, who hosts Triple M’s Summer Breakfast radio pr...
