'The West Ham Borough Council Veterinary Department have devised a special gas protection bag for horses, and have instigated a corps of men and 21 dressing stations for any of the borough's 200,000 animals in the time of war. It is a large nose-bag which fits over the horse's head, and is fixed with a zip fastener, the idea being with a little food in the bag the horse would be quiet during an air raid. A long halter is also attached to allow the driver to get to shelter and still have his horse under control. The fetlocks are bandaged with special oil-skin to protect them from mustard gas'. https://homefrontgirldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/pet-dog-loaned-to-army-to-008.jpgPet dog loaned to army to sniff out mines in 1944https://homefrontgirldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ladies-queue-with-their-p-007.jpgLadies queue with their pets at NARPAC post in Holborn, London 1940 Women queue with their pets at a Narpac (National Air Raid Precautions Committee) post in Holborn, London, 1940https://homefrontgirldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/public-information-poster-006.jpgPublic information poster issued by the National canine Defence leaguePublic Information Poster2017-04-27T18:53:49+00:00monthlyhttps://homefrontgirldiary.com/2017/04/03/home-fires-keep-on-burning/https://homefrontgirldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/9a374c_1670e98dcae14b02b8ef80e083c47c43mv2_d_2354_1521_s_2.png9a374c_1670e98dcae14b02b8ef80e083c47c43~mv2_d_2354_1521_s_22017-04-03T15:24:13+00:00monthlyhttps://homefrontgirldiary.com/2017/01/12/female-war-correspondent-who-broke-start-of-wwii-passes-away/https://homefrontgirldiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/11hollingworth-blog427.jpg11hollingworth-blog427 Clare Hollingworth in 1985.
