Beautiful Staffie Sgt Stubby, 1916 - 1926, served on the Western Front for 18 months, participating in 17 battles.
He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded and memorably caught a German soldier by the backside holding him there until American soldiers found him.
Stubby is described as the most decorated war dog of World War I, and the only dog to be nominated for rank and then promoted to sergeant through combat as recognised by the Smithsonian Institution.
Stubby was assigned to the 26th (Yankee) Division in World War I and was the official mascot of the 102nd Infantry Regiment (United States).
