We were able to go to a museum a few days ago (me and the kids) and they had both a World War 1 part and a World War 11 part. They mentioned that birds were used in World War I if they suspected there was chemical warfare. If the bird died from the air around them, they knew the air was poisonous and the soldiers should wear protective gear. They also had a homemade flag on display that a Prisoner of War during World War I had made by hand out of an old sugar bag. They stained it to get the colors of the flag and would drape it over caskets of other POWs that died during the war...then they'd have to hide the flag so it wouldn't be taken away.
