Description: "A naval cat who fought alongside her shipmates; a grateful goose who stood sentry duty; a terrier who won a medal from Queen Victoria for his courage in battle. These and many other animals form a proud company indeed. Pigeons, eagles, lions, wildcats, cows, pags and ponies all had one thing in common, that they were the well loved pets of military units from the time of ancient Egypt down to the present day. Mascots tells the true stories of some of the most remarkable of such animals and their adventures in war and peace." The author, Fairfax Downey, served in the First World War as a Field Artillery Lieutenant and in the Second World War as a Lt. Col. in North Africa. This 70 year old first edition is in good, used condition. The dust jacket has been price clipped. I see a little foxing on the fore-edge and the tail. See photos. 9
