Dutch Pigeon Communications wagon
Next on my Dutch army build is Dove trailer (Duif Leger wagon), the Dutch still had a strong reliance on pigeons for messages, especially the reserve divisions. In my research I came across a lot of different documents, I have cherry picked a few of them and added them below.My WIP is well underway with the wagon built from a german wagon bottom and Russian workshop on top.
