3) One of the most active messenger pigeons in the Army, “John Silver” was wounded in battle. A bullet had torn his breast, bits of shrapnel ripped his tiny body, and his right leg was missing, but the message tube, intact, was hanging by the ligaments of the torn leg. “Stumpy John” is on display in the museum’s Early Years Gallery.
