Hi. Can we talk about a heroic pigeon who did something cool 100 years ago today? Close up photo of a taxidermy pigeon. It has a red, glass eye. Pointy beak. Feathers at the neck are emerald with some pink. Overall brown and grey.
World War I, October 1918. Forest of Argonne in France. Under heavy fire, cut off by the enemy, and desperate for rescue, the men of what became known as the #LostBattalion have only two homing pigeons left.
By October 3, 1918, German forces surround them. For days, they dig in and fight off repeated enemy attacks. #LostBattalion
