From Wikipedia: For the dog breed known in the UK as an "Alsatian", see German Shepherd.

Subject to correction but I believe the change happened during WWI at the same time the British royal family became the "House of Windsor" (before it was: Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha)

If you change a name, you change reality, so the pictured war dogs are really Alsatians.

Apolitical dogs, most of whom were just as courageous as their handlers.
