  1. It said on the news that a number of pigeons had received medals - especially during WW1.

    Can't help thinking they'd have preferred a bowl of Trill instead.

  3. There's a rather good model of a WW1 mobile pigeon loft on the HaT Everything Toy Soldiers site http://www.hat.com/Othr8/Taran06P.html
