GLM Posted January 4, 2007 #51 Posted January 4, 2007 This shot, if I remember correctly, was of a Dog Platoon freshly arrived on Bougainville 1943
Jeeper704 Posted January 4, 2007 #52 Posted January 4, 2007 Beautiful GSD as the first dog in that picture.
duarte1223 Posted January 5, 2007 #53 Posted January 5, 2007 This is one of my favorite areas of collecting. I have quite a few pictures of these War Dogs, I'll scan a few and put them on tomorrow. If anyone ever wants to part with any of these great photos, just drop me a line! Adam
duarte1223 Posted January 5, 2007 #54 Posted January 5, 2007 Here are a few photos of dogs in my collection... First is Brownie with her owners.
duarte1223 Posted January 5, 2007 #55 Posted January 5, 2007 Next... Bill McCall playing with a dog in his downtime.
2ad82recon Posted January 5, 2007 #57 Posted January 5, 2007 NICE pictures Adam...what unit are those GIs from buddy.Cant make out the SSI Regards Lloyd
duarte1223 Posted January 6, 2007 #58 Posted January 6, 2007 I'm not sure, I posted in the insignia section for some help, I was thinking 88th... but I'm not so sure now.
2ad82recon Posted January 6, 2007 #59 Posted January 6, 2007 Hi Adam i am sure as posted on closer inspection that Kurt has it right with the 36th Infantry T...but the one above is definatley 12th Air Force Regards Lloyd
Gregory Posted January 7, 2007 #60 Posted January 7, 2007 Submarine dog! It is of interest where it could find a piece of grass for its needs? My Labrador Retriever lady requires laboratory conditions, I would say, and for example wet grass for my four-leg lady is unacceptable.
duarte1223 Posted January 8, 2007 #61 Posted January 8, 2007 Current USMC K-9's: a German Shepherd and a Belgian Malinoi. It may not seem true from that picture, but Belgian Malinois are among the most faithful of dogs. I sure wouldn't want to cross one with military training though. Adam
rambob Posted January 8, 2007 #62 Posted January 8, 2007 I got this photo from a WWII vet who was with the Marine 4th division in the Pacific theater. It was taken on Iwo Jima and shows two Dobermans in action, with one heading down towards a cave, and the second dog waiting patiently to bite whoever comes out.
artu44 Posted January 8, 2007 #63 Posted January 8, 2007 Often this was the end for a lot of WWI dogs. At least this one got a christian sepulture from his master. Quite disturbing ain't?
gunbarrel Posted January 9, 2007 Author #64 Posted January 9, 2007 Great pictures, guys--keep them coming. Yes, Arturo, that last one was a sad reminder
Jeeper704 Posted October 8, 2007 #65 Posted October 8, 2007 This little photo I recently picked up from eBay.It depicts a German Shepherd Dog in either the US or German Army.There is nothing written on the back, only the "Agfa - Lupex" mark.Does anyone else have original WWII pictures of animals in the US Army?If so, post them please.I have a GSD as well as my girlfriend (mine is called Brandie, hers is called Sandy).Erwin
gunbarrel Posted October 8, 2007 Author #66 Posted October 8, 2007 Great picture, Erwin. Here are a bunch more: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...p?showtopic=651
Jeeper704 Posted October 8, 2007 #67 Posted October 8, 2007 That's the topic I was looking for. But I didn't find it. Anyone from the Moderators can move this post to that topic if possible. Erwin
vzemke Posted October 20, 2007 #68 Posted October 20, 2007 Here is a picture of a USAF military working dog and his handler on a dismounted patrol through a rural neighborhood just south of Baghdad. This was taken last winter.
Mk1rceme Posted November 2, 2007 #70 Posted November 2, 2007 Great topic. Dogs of War kick butt. Some more pics found on eBay a while back.
USMCR79 Posted November 2, 2007 #72 Posted November 2, 2007 Check the October 19th 1967 Look Magazine. A good friend of mine was a dog handler with the 1st MP Bn. (USMC) in Vietnam. Bill
the.warlord1944 Posted November 2, 2007 #73 Posted November 2, 2007 did you know there was a dog awarded the siver star on sicily! it was later recended I have the article somewhere.The story goes that a german machine gun nest had GI's pinned down and the dog assualted the nest wounding two germans and sending the third running,the dog was shot across the top of the head which left a permanent reverse mohawk. Their was made a movie about it ,,Skipp hte wardogg,, Really great film (they didn`t do the reversed mohawk in the movie but the rest is correct,,).
