  • BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’S Leading Veterinary Charity
    BRAVE BIRDS By: PDSA - the UK’s leading veterinary charity. Additional text and photos courtesy of Australian War Memorial and UK Flightglobal Archive. 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. During the First World War, Maria Dickin CBE worked to improve the dreadful state of animal health in the Whitechapel area of London. She wanted to open a clinic where East Enders living in poverty could receive free treatment for their sick and injured animals. Left: Despite the scepticism of the Establishment, Maria Dickin opened her free 'dispensary' in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17th November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Photo PDSA. Within six years this extraordinary woman had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a comforting and familiar sight throughout the country. With success came increased attention from her critics at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Ministry of Agrigulture.

  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

  • Mary of Exeter Dm 32 Pdsa Dickin Medal Mary of Exeter Dm 32
    MARY OF EXETER DM 32 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL MARY OF EXETER DM 32 “For outstanding endurance on War Service in spite of wounds.” Date of Award: November 1945 ©Imperial War Museum CH 6860 MARY OF EXETER’S STORY Espionage has always gone hand in hand with conflict. During World War II, carrier pigeons were crucial weapons in the spy’s armoury and few distinguished themselves more notably than the ‘Indestructible Pigeon’, Mary of Exeter, (Pigeon No. NURP 40. WCE 249). Owned by bootmaker and pigeon breeder Cecil ‘Charlie’ Brewer, Mary of Exeter joined the National Pigeon Service in the 1940s. Her role was to provide critical intelligence to the Allies by delivering top secret messages from behind enemy lines. “SHE MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH DESPITE THE HAWK’S ATTACK.” ©Imperial War Museum H 3048 Mary of Exeter completed four successful missions from France and, remarkably, managed to survive three German attempts to stop her delivering essential intelligence. Returning home from one mission, she was found to have suffered wounds to her neck and breast. The enemy kept specially trained hawks to attack carrier pigeons and she managed to make it through despite a hawk attack. Having recovered from her injuries, she returned to action two months later. Hawks were not the only method used to stop pigeons – they would shoot them as well. She returned from that mission with a missing wing tip and three shotgun pellets in her body. Nursed back to health by her owner, she once again returned to action following test flights. On her final mission, Mary of Exeter made it home with not just a vital message, but shrapnel injuries to her neck.
