The Animals in War Memorial
Far right, below: "They had no choice"
It reads: Many and various animals were employed to support British and Allied Forces in wars and campaigns over the centuries and as a result millions died. From the pigeon to the elephant they all played a vital role in every region of the world in the cause of human freedom.
Their contribution must never be forgotten.
The building of this monument was made possible by generous public donations.

The amazingly believable cast of Warhorse
My trip to back to the U.K. in September included a brief stay in London, which revolved around tickets to see WarHorse on the stage. The daylight hours were spent walking in, and around, Hyde Park, as I visited The Animals in War memorial and came upon the beautiful bronze of a horse at water nearby.
