Guard Dogs 203 



BlNFIELD 



The watch dog at Binfield Magazine was worked as 

 follows : 



Acted as sentry from 5 p.m. until 5 a.m. He used to 

 patrol the magazine with sentries at the time of clocking 

 up the tell-tale clock every hour. No strangers dare come 

 near — he always gave warning. Owing to his work, the 

 guard was reduced from one sergeant and twenty-eight 

 men to one corporal and six men. He did his work most 

 satisfactorily, and we are sorry to lose him.

The report of the dogs used at the Chislehurst Caves 

 shows how useful they can be for searching this enclosed 

 sort of ground : 



Report on Two Dogs used at Chislehurst Caves 



These two dogs were used on patrol, and did the work 

 in searching out the dene holes, undergrowth of the woods, 

 and throughout the woods. On the word " Search," the 

 dogs searched the undergrowth to look for suspicious 

 persons, and I consider the work of the dogs was excellent. 

 They were used for guarding ammunition stores in the 

 caves. 



At night, without the dogs, it would have been impossible 

 to patrol the woods. In these holes any persons could 

 easily be concealed.
