Corporal Wojtek was a Syrian bear sold to the Polish Army from the mountains of Iran.
Wojtek was then recruited and hired by the Polish Army and served the Allied effort by moving ammunition boxes in battle.
This clever bear met many Allied leaders, like Patton, especially during the war effort in Italy.
Eventually, he retired and settled down in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland as a veteran and popular figure for visiting children.
