Image description

Message capsule from a carrier pigeon, 1916 circa. Pigeons carried coded messages. They could quickly fly up and out of range and be relied upon when all other communication had failed – 95 per cent of pigeon messages were received. The capsule was retained at the end of World War One (1914-1918) by Private George William Pennicott of the Royal Engineers.
