"Messenger: Connecting Worlds, Delivering Stories" From the ancient Greek god Hermes to the brave messenger dogs of World War I, messengers have played a vital role throughout history. In Jonnard's 1886 artwork "Hermes, " we see the divine figure embodying communication and swift delivery. The image of a Royal Engineer with his loyal messenger dog in France during WWI reminds us of the crucial role animals played in relaying important information amidst chaos and danger. Charles M. Russell's drawing "RUSSELL: STAGE ROBBER" depicts a treacherous scene where a stagecoach robber takes down an unfortunate messenger, highlighting both the vulnerability and significance of these bearers of news. During WWII, AFS despatch riders and messengers risked their lives on motorcycles to ensure timely communication on the battlefield. Their courage is immortalized in historical records as well as artistic representations. Beyond physical beings, even metabolic enzymes act as molecular messengers within our bodies, orchestrating essential chemical reactions that keep us alive. The intricate artwork depicting this phenomenon showcases science's own form of messaging. In an extraordinary display during WWI, seaplane carrier pigeons were trained to deliver messages across vast distances when traditional means failed. These feathered heroes defied all odds to bring hope and critical information from one place to another. Mary Qoss Messenger may not be widely known but her name resonates with those who appreciate artistry and creativity. Her contributions undoubtedly left an indelible mark on her chosen field. Dispatch Rider Violet Goozee exemplifies female empowerment during wartime as she fearlessly navigated dangerous terrains delivering messages that could change lives forever. Her bravery serves as inspiration for generations to come.
