Bought as a cub by soldiers at a train station in Iran, he was enlisted and had his own rank and serial number. He was promoted to corporal. https://t.co/dUispIii99 — PolitiTweet.org

Wojtek served in campaigns across the Middle East and in the Italian campaign. He moved crates of ammunition. After the war, he spent the rest of his life at the Edinburg Zoo in Scotland, visited regularly by Polish soldiers, who lovingly fed him cigarettes. He died in 1963. https://t.co/80xZIW2Hfq — PolitiTweet.org
