We honour our troops and veterans on Memorial Day, Monday 25 May 2015. In the photograph, US Army Staff Sergeant Agnieszka Sosnowska of the 131st Military Working Dog Detachment praises her military working dog, Quaid T183, who has just completed explosive detection training.

The use of dogs in warfare goes back to ancient times. The US K-9 Corps was created on 13 March 1942.
