Newsreel and schoolchildren鈥檚 commentary illustrate and describe the role animals played in the trench warfare of World War One. Horses were used for transport and to draw heavy guns. Over eight million horses died during the war. Homing pigeons were used to send messages. Dogs pulled machinery and were used to sniff out gas attacks and search for wounded soldiers. A dramatic monologue, accompanied by animated photos and graphics, tells the story of a dog called Sergeant Stubby. Stubby was a stray, smuggled to the front by US Corporal Robert Conroy. Stubby鈥檚 exploits in 17 battles made him famous. The US Army promoted him to the rank of Sergeant and awarded him medals for his bravery under fire.
