Dogs at the Front

Thursday 18th February 1915: Private Harold Chamberlain of 2nd Bedfords has spoken to us about a pathetic sight: "We saw a rather remarkable sight near where we were stationed. There was a very large house which had been ruined, and in the back yard were two dogs - a large black collie and the other a terrier. On their faces one could see that they fully understood the situation, and nothing would induce them to give up their guard of the ruined house. Of course we fed them when we had anything to spare. The dogs were evidently waiting for their master to return, but probably their wait will be in vain".
