Emma Worrall will discuss the British Army's use of canines during the First World War.
Dogs were used by all of the major combatants in the First World War. Find out how the British, as well as their foreign counterparts, recruited, trained and deployed their dogs.
Emma Worrall is the author of 'A History of Britain in 100 dogs' and is currently studying for her PhD in the military use of dogs in the First World War at the University of Chichester.
Without its hard-working horses, the Army could not have functioned during the First World War. Their contribution included carrying and pulling supplies, ammunition, artillery and even the wounded.
Animals have always provided companionship to soldiers on the front line, either serving as a distraction from the trials of war or sharing the hardship and danger of combat.
