Century old pigeon message found
More than a century after it was dispatched by a German soldier, a message sent via carrier pigeon has been found by chance.
In September, a couple out for a stroll in the eastern French Alsace region, came across a tiny aluminium capsule in a field.
Inside was the message, written in barely legible German on a kind of tracing paper.
The message appears to carry the date 1910, or 1916.
