A IS FOR ANIMALS: AN A TO Z OF ANIMALS IN WAR

A is for Animals offers an A to Z of animals in war, from mascots and messengers to creepy-crawlies. Animals are put to many uses in war. Sometimes they have jobs to do, are used as mascots and pets, or are symbols on badges and flags. This exhibition also looks at the unwelcome animals that make life in the field even more difficult and dangerous.

The exhibition has been developed with a young audience in mind, but visitors of all ages will enjoy its fascinating and moving stories.

The Australian War Memorial’s Travelling Exhibitions Program is funded by the Australian Government’s Commemorations Program.
