246 British War Dogs 



With the Sth Army, during the month of May, five enemy 

 patrols were detected at a good distance ; also a group of 

 signallers working at their wires. 



During the month of June, in spite of the fact that the 

 number of dogs in the line had been much reduced by the 

 removal of a number of units, a dog with the 315th Regiment 

 of Infantry, which was on patrol, detected the presence of 

 the enemy, and immediately attacked him.

 of an enemy patrol directed against one of our working 

 parties. (Sector Grande Carriere, Berry-au-Bac, May, 1917.) 



The dog " Souck," of the 328th Regiment, perfectly 

 indicated the approach of the enemy in their direction, at 

 the end of April, 1917.

 on the 2nd and 3rd of May, 1917, the dogs prevented many 

 surprise attacks on the part of the enemy. 



With the 31st Corps of the Army, a sentry dog, with the 

 329th Regiment, in March, 1916, at the Etang de Varge- 

 vaux, detected an enemy patrol and prevented a surprise.

 results obtained were excellent, and this practice will be 

 extended.
