Historical Context and Application

During World War I, communication on the battlefield was an enormous challenge. Carrier pigeons were one of the primary and safest ways to transmit messages between front-line units and command—especially when unreliable telephone infrastructure and primitive radio links were often destroyed by artillery fire. British Dispatch Riders, like the figure represented in this set, played a crucial role in keeping communications open. Pigeons were, for example, used during the Battle of the Somme and the Passchendaele offensive.
