Not an answer as such, I'm afraid.
Gortamor, I appreciate you're Irish, but recent Irish history isn't what the question was about.
Fair point about the Black and Tans being animals though. I'd be inclined to find a term less insulting on animals thought. More like w*nkers I think.

I would up information on pigeons. Just google the word pigeon and WWII and I believe Irish Terriers were used as messanger dogs as well as German Shepards who were used by the SS. Just google the animal and pick a war.

Hi there.
The best place I know is to google the Dickin Medal winners, the medal for bravery in animals, also reachable through the PDSA website (www.pdsa.org.uk).
Some fantastic stories, enjoy!
Cheers, Steve.

You must mean the Black and Tans. They were disbanded in 1922.
Beastie, you are right on that. Is not fair to compare those vicious brutes to innocent animals.
