EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the chaos and uncertainties of the First World War, a soldier stands firm and resolute, his unwavering gaze fixed on the horizon. At his side, an Airedale Terrier, ears perked up and eyes alert, mirrors his vigilance. This powerful image is a testament to the crucial role played by Major Edwin Richardson's sentry dogs during the Great War. Major Richardson, a renowned dog trainer, had a deep understanding of the canine psyche and their ability to serve as loyal and effective sentinels. By 1917, he would establish the highly successful British War Dog School at Shoeburyness, where he trained and supplied sentry and police dogs for the British military. This photograph, taken in 1915, showcases the synergy between man and dog, illustrating the trust and reliance that existed between them. Major Richardson's preferred breed for this type of work was the Airedale Terrier, a versatile and intelligent breed, well-suited to the demands of military service. The sentry dogs were an essential component of the British military's defense strategy, providing early warning of enemy approaches and deterring potential attacks. Their unwavering loyalty and keen senses made them invaluable assets on the battlefield. As the world marks the centenary of the First World War, this poignant image serves as a reminder of the vital role animals played in the conflict, and the deep bond that existed between the soldiers and their canine companions.
