I finished my re-read of Mary Borden's 'The Forbidden Zone' this morning. It is a short, but powerful book and Borden seems to have been an impressive woman. Why this book isn't better known is a mystery to me. #WorldWarOne #WW1 #FirstWorldWar

The pigeon had been shot through the breast. One eye was gone. A leg was hanging by a tendon. It still delivered the message. The barrage stopped.

A Pigeon Delivered a Military Message Faster Than Any Radio in World War I. It Lost a Leg and an Eye Getting There.
In October 1918, the Lost Battalion was surrounded in the Argonne Forest and being shelled by their own artillery. Every radio was down. Every runner had been killed. A carrier pigeon named Cher Ami was the last option. It flew twenty-five miles after being shot, with one eye gone and a leg hanging by a tendon. One hundred and ninety-four men survived.

You see a repro French WW1 overcoat, I see a napping blanket. 😉
(French troops used their overcoats as blankets during WW1, and I was inspired.)

On Christmas Day 1914, German and Allied soldiers spontaneously paused the fighting. For a brief window, they crossed enemy lines to trade gifts, share laughs, and kick a football around the mud of No Man’s Land...
