100-year-old carrier pigeon message found

[Still Waters]

A tiny capsule containing a message written by a Prussian soldier who used a carrier pigeon to send it more than a century ago has been found by a French couple.

The message from an infantry soldier based at Ingersheim detailed military manoeuvres and was addressed to a superior officer, Dominique Jardy, curator of the Linge Museum at Orbey in eastern France, told the AFP news agency.

The writing on the message is in German but in a barely legible hand. The date of the note is unclear, but looks like either 1910 or 1916.
