History:
Carrier pigeons were a vital communication link during World War I, capable of delivering messages quickly and discreetly even when conventional methods failed. British dispatch riders often carried baskets of these birds to forward positions, where they could be released to carry back intelligence or orders. This practice proved critical during key operations, with many pigeons credited for saving lives. This figure offers modellers a unique subject that adds depth, accuracy, and narrative interest to WWI scenes.
