WWI Cher Ami Carrier Pigeon Signal Corp Service Animal Report

Description: Lt. Colonel Goodwin Compton writing in 1925, to a Florence E. Bishop in Warren Ohio from the Signal Corps archives, the details of Cher Ami’s heroic service in 1919. Cher Ami flew through machine gun fire, losing one leg & sustaining a fatal chest wound, to report the friendly fire raining down on the 77th in Rampont, France preparing for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Though the mistake had been discovered before he reached his intended target, his scroll still contained valuable rescue coordinates. He lived two more months before being sent home to America & finally enshrined as taxidermy in the Smithsonian Museum. 7 x 9” type written response w/ manuscript in margin. Shows heavy loss & moderate foxing.
