Dogs of war


Under 1914 var kapten Ljungberg på en studieresa i Belgien där han studerade användningen av hundar i belgiska armén. Syftet med hundarna var att dessa skulle användas för dragning av kulsprutor på tvåhjuliga lavetter. En liknande metod användes vid denna tidpunkt av nederländska armén. Enligt rapporten är bilderna erhållna från besöket hos 1:a Régiment des Carabiniers. 
Följande bilder visar även reglementet rörande hundar och kulsprutor.




During the 1914 captain, Ljungberg was on a study tour in Belgium where he studied the use of dogs in the Belgian army. The intention with the dogs was to use them to pull the machine guns that were mounted on two-wheeled carriages. A similar method was at the same time used by the Dutch army. According to the rapport the pictures are provided during the visit at the 1: a Régiment des Carabiniers. The following images are also showing manual regarding the dogs and machine guns.
