I'm working on a slideshow for our tour of duty here in SW Asia. I wanted to end it with a list of all those dog teams who have been killed in action since WWII. Although i can easily find the Vietnam info. i've had no luck with any war prior or since. Does anyone have list or a link i can visit for this information? Any help would be great. Thanks
SSgt Fritz. Go to War Dog Memorial on Guam. I believe they list Marine Dogs Killed on the Island during WWII.
The Inscription on the front reads as follows:
25 Marine War Dogs gave their lives liberating Guam
in 1944. They served as sentries, messengers, scouts.
They explored caves, detected mines and booby traps.

Given in their memory and on behalf of the surviving
men of the 2nd and 3rd marine war dogs platoons, many
of whom owe their lives to the bravery and sacrifice
of these gallant animals.
