Okinawa, April 1945. Corporal Harold N. Flagg of Fairfield, Maine, sits beside “Boy”, a Doberman Pinscher serving as a United States Marine Corps war dog. Together they display a captured Japanese flag, during one of the final and bloodiest campaigns of the Pacific War. Boy had spotted an ambush while on patrol and was wounded in the leg during the action. War dogs were definetly not mascots, they worked alongside Marines on patrols, detecting enemy positions and warning of danger. Flagg survived the war and lived until 1992.
