Dogs and Cats of Shipdham
Description
An account of the resource
Airmen at Shipdham “adopted” a huge number of cats and dogs while on base during the war. Some were strays, others came from local English villagers. The animals brought some levity and comfort on base.“They [dogs and cats] belonged to all of us,” one airman recalled. To that end, the cats and dogs called the sprawling base home - living in Nissen Huts on Living Sites and Line Shacks next to the runway. <br /><br />After the war, some of the airmen wished to bring the beloved dogs stateside, but the British Kennel Club wouldn’t allow it. One such ground crewman, John Weber, paid a local English farmer to care for his “adopted” dog El Champo. Weber made several trips to England post-war to visit his wartime pup at Shipdham.
