Caesar and Patricia Stroud






Today Patricia Stroud came to our school to talk about her book Caesar. Caesar is a dog who was a mascot in World War One, and helped find injured soldiers. Caesar died from a sniper bullet and is buried in France.


We also learnt that because of the gas in WW1, the horses in WW2 had gas masks. Also sometimes German soldiers would help with the wounded and take them to German hospital.

Caesar died when he was four years old in France. He had been in France about one year.


We like the story of Caesar and our visit with Mrs Stroud.

Thank you Mrs Stroud.

Wow Room 22, you have been super fast at getting your entry on your blog! It is always interesting to meet authors and hear where their stories came from. Thank you for thinking of some interesting questions to ask Mrs Stroud. She was very impressed with the Botany Downs children.
