TIME is running out for Chorley's 11-14-year-old school pupils to take part in an exciting competition that highlights the important role of man's best friend in both World Wars.
Launched last November, the National Canine Defence League's 'Dogs in War' competition draws to a close on May 20.
The competition is based on the NCDL's successful 'Dogs of War' educational pack and invites all students who are studying it to show their creativity and submit a piece of work.
It provides students with a wide range of activities, questions and challenges relating to both World Wars.
The resource uses official war-time propaganda posters as well as actual photographs providing students with information on the different roles dogs played during these two landmark events. 'Dogs in War' is not available in the shops, but further information on how you can obtain it is available from your local National Canine Defence League branch.
The cost of the pack is £4.99. However, teachers can order a free copy by calling NCDL Education Programme helpline on 0870 333 0432.
