HOMING PIGEON 



A blue chequer hen, which during the War (in September of 1918) flew 22 miles 

 in as many minutes, saving the crew of an aeroplane in difficulties. 



CARRIER PIGEON 



Carrier pigeons were much used in the War to carry messages. The photograph shows how the message is fixed to the carrier pigeon's 



leg, in the form of light rings.
