EDITORS COMMENTS
Major Edwin Hauteville Richardson, a renowned Army officer and dog trainer, is seen here at Charing Cross station in London, bidding farewell to his loved ones as he sets off for the battlefields of Belgium with his Red Cross bloodhounds in 1914. Accompanied by Mr. Cherry Garrard of Captain Scott's Antarctic Expedition, Major Richardson's departure came just as the Germans were advancing through Brussels. Despite the impending danger, Major Richardson's determination to aid in the war effort was unwavering. Upon arrival in Brussels, Major Richardson was forced to return to Britain via Ostend due to the advancing German forces. However, his story does not end there. Once back in England, he established the British War Dog School, where he trained hundreds of dogs to act as messengers at the Front. These brave canines saved countless lives by delivering important messages and supplies to the troops, often in the most dangerous of conditions. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, as Major Richardson and his loyal bloodhounds embark on a journey that would ultimately change the course of the First World War. The use of animals in warfare was a groundbreaking innovation, and Major Richardson's efforts were instrumental in demonstrating their value on the battlefield.
