The most famous and the oldest of the charity’s awards is the PDSA Dickin Medal. It acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, worldwide. The Medal is recognised as the animals’ Victoria Cross and is the highest British honour for animal bravery in military conflicts. The medal was instituted in 1943 Maria Dickin. Maria Dickin CBE PDSA owes its foundation to the vision of one woman - Maria Elisabeth Dickin - and her determination to raise the status of animals, and the standard of their care, in society.

She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals.

On June 21, 1960, the upstate New York portion of the province, along with the Caroline-Marshall Islands, was divided off to form the Buffalo Province. The new province had two colleges, Canisius and Le Moyne, two high schools, Canisius and McQuaid, a novitiate/juniorate at Plattsburgh, the tertianship and shrine at Auriesville, as well as the many institutions and outposts in the Pacific. Fr. James Shanahan, SJ, former president of St. Peter’s College, was named the first provincial. The new province would not, however, be content to stand pat with the status quo. Bishop Joseph Burke of Buffalo had asked the Society to start a retreat house for the laity in his diocese, and so in September, 1960, ground was broken at a 60-acre site The new Buffalo Province provincial and his assistants look over a map in Clarence Center, a suburb of Buffalo, for a new of the newly created territory.
