"Winchester" in the log book probably refers to the 1907 semiauto.

Before there were specialists like German Shepherds, Malinois, etc..., there were the original do it all dogs- Airedales. They were one of first breeds used in the more modern era as police and military dogs. In WWI, they were used for all manner of jobs. Message delivery, finding injured troops in no man's land and bringing them medical supplies, guard duty, attack duty, whatever. One Airedale named Jack even earned the British equivalent of the Medal of Honor for delivering a message from a trapped/besieged company that saved untold amounts of troops. He arrived all messed up and died right after delivering it. Pretty cool dogs with quite a story in WWI.
