Also, everybody should remember the story of Voytek the bear. To get him onto a British transport ship when the unit sailed with the rest of the Polish II Corps from Egypt to fight alongside the British 8th Army in the Italian campaign, Wojtek was officially drafted into the Polish Army as a Private and was listed among the soldiers of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company. Henryk Zacharewicz and Dymitr Szawlugo were assigned as his caretakers. As an enlisted soldier of the company, with his own paybook, rank and serial number, he lived with the other men in tents or in a special wooden crate, which was transported by truck. According to numerous accounts, during the Battle of Monte Cassino Wojtek helped by carrying ammunition – never dropping a single crate.[8] In recognition of the bear's popularity, the HQ approved a depiction of a bear carrying an artillery shell as the official emblem of the 22nd Company.[6]

prefect posted:Also, everybody should remember the story of Voytek the bear. I read a story in Dreadnought about how a british captain somehow managed to aquire an elephant. After it adjusted to the ocean it proceeded to prove itself an able deckhand mostly by holding ropes. When the ship got back to london the navy donated it to the london zoo, only to be thwarted when it refused to move because the captain hadn't ordered it off the ship.
