There’s a mention of this chap in the Archive of The Times, at the end of a long report headlined Pause in the Battle, April 22, 1918: “A curious detail of the casualties is that in one of the base hospitals now there lies in (or at least on) a bed, with other honourably wounded heroes, one Jack the Baboon, the mascot of the South African Brigade. He lost a leg and is wounded in one arm, but he has stood an operation and treatment well and is said to be a most amenable and gentle patient” www.timesonline.co.uk/archive

@MonkeyHitman: This one, a couple of APODs and WikiPODs and another one just recently posted by tiki. It's not fair. I demand that everyone wait for me to submit my pics before you submit my pics.

@natedog,

I don’t know why. The South Africans were the whitest soldiers around. Something about the whole apartheid thing and banning the natives from fighting and all.
