Ron Clifton Posted 15 August , 2017 Share Posted 15 August , 2017 Hesketh-Pritchard's Sniping in France has a story of a cat seen regularly sunning itself on the parapet of what was thought to be a disused German trench. The British snipers thought it worth noting in their log, and their officer passed the information to the Corps intelligence officer. He surmised that the trench was not as disused as they thought (someone was obviously feeding the cat) and arranged for some air reconnaissance photos to be taken, which revealed a fairly large headquarters dugout under construction out of sight of the British trenches. It was arranged that the RFA would "deal with it" the following day, and amid the hail of exploding shells the cat was seen high-tailing it to the rear, in the direction of Martinpuich.

charlesmessenger Posted 19 August , 2017 Share Posted 19 August , 2017 Seajane I think that is the earliest picture I have seen of a Siamese. It is in typical pose. Charles M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
