EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment of respite for a group of weary Carrier Pigeons at Sorrus, France, during the heat of the First World War on June 2, 1918. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Great War, these birds played a crucial role in delivering important messages between Allied forces. In this photograph, they are seen enjoying a refreshing bath in a baking tin full of water. With their wings spread out to dry, they flap their feet contentedly, providing a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the battlefield. The Carrier Pigeons were an essential component of the communication network during World War 1, and their homing abilities proved invaluable in delivering messages quickly and accurately. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the vital role these birds played during wartime and the simple pleasures they found even in the most challenging of circumstances.
