A little known fact.

Military Carrier pidgeons were spreading the Spanish flu during WWI far and wide as they were used throughout the theator and cross channel.

The reason the carrier pigeons were employed in the first place was that the artillery and troop movements throughout the region made other forms Communications telegraph and telephone impossible as lines were being continually destroyed.

Radio wasn’t really a practical idea for the field in those early years.
