The pigeons carried two kinds of despatch: official and private, both of which are later described in detail. The service was put into operation for the transmission of information from the Delegation to Paris and was opened to the public in early November. The private despatches were sent only when an official despatch was being sent, since the latter would have absolute priority. However, the introduction of the Dagron microfilms eased any problems there might have been in claims for transport since their volumetric requirements were very small. For example: one tube sent during January contained 21 microfilms, of which 6 were official despatches and 15 were private, while a later tube contained 16 private despatches and 2 official ones.

By 3000 BC, Egypt was using homing pigeons forpigeon post, taking advantage of a singular quality of this bird, which when taken far from its nest is able to find its way home due to a particularly developed sense of orientation. Messages were then tied around the legs of the pigeon, which was freed and could reach its original nest. By the 19th century homing pigeons were used extensively for military communications. [5] Birds were used extensively during World War I. One homing pigeon, Cher Ami, was awarded the French Croix de guerre for his heroic service in delivering 12 important messages, despite having been very badly injured. [35]

This is the underlying metaphor of the text, what theoreticians would call the ‘ground’ which links the ‘vehicle’ and the ‘tenor’. He has enjoyed playing with the idea of physical distance, pretending that his thoughts are reaching the distant beloved as efficiently as if carried on wings of song, but he is unprepared for her emotional distance. Is there still a chance that his embassy will be successful and that her apparent indifference is her way of signalling the depths of her own passion? Just as a pigeon cannot read the message it is carrying, this man’s longing might be getting in the way of him understanding what is going on. The THDP approach springs from an endless creative curiosity, enthused by the founders into every team member, each of them chosen because they have a true passion for Interior Design, and everyone an integral part of the successful THDP team – evident in their 35 Hotel projects and counting.

Although the use of pigeons as messengers was first recorded in Eygpt at around 3,000BC, they were thought to be first used in India in the 16th-century Mughal era. Pigeons came into their own during wartime, carrying secret messages around military networks, and were widely used during the first and second world wars, delivering messages across Europe, India and Burma (now Myanmar). The pigeons are very intelligent.

During the course of the siege, pigeons were regularly taken out of Paris by balloon. Initially, one of the pigeons carried by a balloon was released as soon as the balloon landed so that Paris could be apprised of its safe passage over the Prussian lines. Soon a regular service was in operation, based first at Tours and later at Poitiers. The pigeons were taken to their base after their arrival from Paris and when they had preened themselves, been fed and rested, they were ready for the return journey. Tours lies some 200km from Paris and Poitiers some 300km; to reduce the flight distance the pigeons were taken by train as far forward towards Paris as was safe from Prussian intervention. Before release, they were loaded with their despatches. The first despatch was dated 27 September and reached Paris on 1 October, but it was only from 16 October, when an official control was introduced, that a complete record was kept.
