Major Richardson leaves for Belgium with bloodhounds, WW1
Major Edwin Hauteville Richardson, Army officer and famous dog trainer, pictured at Charing Cross station with his Red Cross bloodhounds leaving for the seat of war in Belgium. He was accompanied by Mr Cherry Garrard of Captain Scotts Antarctic Expedition. Richardson arrived in Brussels, just as the Germans were advancing through the city and he was forced to return to Britain via Ostend. He would later establish the British War Dog School where he trained hundreds of dogs to act as messengers at the Front, saving hundreds of lives in the process. Date: 1914
