Military History - WW1 - Jimmy the Donkey 🫏 Jimmy the Donkey was born in the trenches at the Somme, when a Germany shell fatally wounded his pregnant mother. British soldiers were forced to deliver Jimmy in the mud of the battlefield. The baby donkey was raised by the troops of the Cameronian Scottish Rifles who fed him condensed milk and rations. They even taught the animal to salute by raising one hoof. Jimmy would spend the years with the regiment, hauling supplies and keeping his human comrades’ spirits up. He was wounded three times before the end of the war, but went on to become a mascot of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the 20s and 30s. He died in 1943 and was buried in Peterborough’s Central Park. A monument was erected to commemorate him. Credit goes to the respective owner

Today, we remember the sacrifices made by all those involved in the D-Day landings. On this day 80 years ago, more than 5,000 ships and landing craft delivered 150,000 troops to five beaches in Normandy. 4,440 Allied soldiers lost their lives on D-Day - the first day of Operation Overlord, which ultimately brought about the liberation of German-occupied Western Europe. #DDay80
