Animal Life in No Man’s Land



Tuesday 26th October 1915: Cats and dogs are not habitual friends. Nevertheless, a curious incident was observed by a sentry in the 7th Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment yesterday. Captain Meautys, the adjutant, related to us, with some amusement that a canine and a feline were observed to leave the German front line. They walked amiably through No Man’s Land to a shattered wood and disappeared. Had they been rats one might have thought they were leaving a sinking ship, but one can hope.
