Australian Signallers in WW2 also used carrier pigeons to relay messages, firstly in the Syrian Campaign, and later in the campaigns in New Guinea and the Islands. Not much of a Bird lover myself, I don't really understand how a mobile Patrol could get a bird to return "Home" to a mobile HQ, but now I see they taught them to read road signs.
