Over seven million women served in Britain’s war effort during the Second World War.

We honour their immense sacrifices that helped secure the freedoms we cherish today.

THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL (1934)

[Untold War Stories @UntoldWarFacts]

There is a cemetery on the island of Guam where 24 Marine war dogs are buried.

They were Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds who fought alongside the Marines in the Pacific.

This is the story of the Marine Devil Dogs..🧵1/5

[Untold War Stories @UntoldWarFacts]

🧵 5/5

The Devil Dogs fought on. They served at Iwo Jima. They served at Peleliu. They served at Okinawa. They served on every Pacific island the Marines took back from the Japanese in the final two years of the war.

Caesar the German Shepherd who had saved Rufus Mayo's life on Bougainville was killed in action on northern Okinawa on April 17 1945. His handler Bob Forsyth said of him afterward:

"Andy and Caesar were good Marines."

The men who handled the Devil Dogs never forgot them. After the war Captain William Putney, the Marine veterinarian who had cared for Kurt on Guam, spent the rest of his life pushing for proper recognition of the war dogs. In 2001 he published a memoir called Always Faithful, the first detailed account of the Marine War Dog Platoons in the Pacific.

In June 1994 a bronze statue of Kurt the Doberman was unveiled at the Pentagon. It was sculpted by an artist named Susan Bahary. The statue was then shipped to Guam and installed at a new cemetery on the Naval Base. The remains of the 24 Devil Dogs who had been killed liberating Guam were moved to the new ground beneath the statue. The cemetery was dedicated on July 21 1994, exactly 50 years after the invasion.

The bronze Kurt stands watch over his fallen brothers to this day. The inscription on the base honors the 25 Marine war dogs who gave their lives liberating Guam in 1944. It records that they served as sentries, messengers, and scouts. That they explored caves, detected mines and booby traps.

It ends with two words.

Semper Fidelis.

I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.

@carryontitterin Come on people. Every one has to opt for the Khasi before they retire to bed.

@RodneyMarshall1 Not So Jolly Roger is one of my favourite episodes!

[Rodney Marshall @RodneyMarshall1]

Vertiginous streets, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the streetcars, marina, Little Italy, Chinatown, Japantown, the Castro, Art Deco towers, stick houses and distinctive bay windows...San Francisco was the perfect cityscape 'set' for an iconic crime drama series.
