[edit] Fairuse Rationale

• This image is to be used on William of Orange (Pigeon) to illustrate the pigeon used in the war.
• The photo is only being used for informational purposes
• The pigeon is notable as it saved 2000 soldiers in an operation during World War 2
• This photo displays the exact pigeon (William of Orange) served in the operation and no other free-license is believed to be available due to security restriction as these pigeons carried highly classified messages
