Stars and Stripes Museum Summer Reading program presents Corporal Haggis: The Wartime Story Of A Muscovy Duck during World War 2.

This is the true story of Haggis, the Muscovy duck who became a friend instead of a feast - a comrade who shared the men's fears, fatigues, and anxieties during five months of fighting in Italy; he later sailed with them to Glasgow, and even became involved in the invasion of France, finally progressing through Belgium to Holland until peach was declared in May 1945. Eventually promoted to corporal, he was 'awarded' the Italy Star and Long Service and Good Conduct medals; attached to an old bootlace around his neck he wore the cap badge of the Royal Scots Greys.
