American soldiers demonstrating an improved method of attaching messages to carrier pigeons during World War One. This method allows for messages to be attached without physically handling the bird. A 6 x 8 inch paper can be used for this purpose. Soldiers were encouraged to make note of the availability of tubes used by the Signal Corps for pigeons, as these methods could be equally effective. This image is for official use only.
