Spies Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I found 2 more interesting military animals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsinkable_Sam a German ship's cat who saw service in both the Kriegsmarine and Royal Navy during the Second World War, serving on board three vessels and surviving the sinking of all three. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Windsor_%28goat%29 He served as a lance corporal from 2001 until 2009, except for a three-month period in 2006 when he was demoted to fusilier, after inappropriate behaviour during the Queen's Official Birthday celebrations while deployed on active duty with the battalion on Cyprus.

Schweizer Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 i cant help to laugh at the wiki page for that navy cat.. Unsinkable Sam (also known as Oscar[1]) Not to sure how you get Oscar out of Sam, or vice versa.. Then again, I am Heinz Strugg, also known as Franz "Schweizer" Reiter.

At one time a royal goat was "prostituted" by being offered for stud services by the regiment's serving goat major to a Wrexham goat breeder.[7] First charged with lèse majesté,[19] the goat major was ultimately court-martialled under the lesser charge of "disrespect to an officer" and reduced in rank.[7] The goat major claimed he did it out of compassion for the goat, but this failed to impress the court.[7] Another royal fusilier goat earned the nickname "the rebel", after he butted a colonel while he was stooped over fixing his uniform's trouser-strap.[20] The incident was described as a "disgraceful act of insubordination."[20] lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
