Full Description
War memorial comprising a granite block carved with images of the Airedale Terrier and its working relationship with soldiers in World War I. It was carved by Bruce Walker. Lt Col Edwin Hautenville Richardson was living in Carnoustie when, in the run-up to World War I, he demonstrated how dogs (in particular Airedale Terriers) could be trained to carry out a range of military tasks, including carrying messages and locating and carrying first aid packages to injured men on the battlefield. Richardson and his wide, Blanche, eventually set up the British War Dogs training school in Shoeburyness, Essex, where they trained hundred of dogs for service in both world wars, the school moving to Bulford, Wiltshire. the inscription reads: 'Airedale Terriers also served in war'.
