In 1914, during World War I, a baboon named Jackie was officially enlisted in the South African Army . He wasn’t just a mascot — he had a uniform, a service number, and the rank of private. Jackie even learned to salute, follow commands, and eat with cutlery like a real soldier.
During a battle in Egypt, he was injured by shrapnel while helping build a defensive wall . His leg was amputated, but he survived — and after the war, he was promoted to corporal, awarded a bravery medal, and given a pension . An actual soldier… who just happened to be a baboon.In 1914, during World War I, a baboon named Jackie was officially enlisted in the South African Army .
