  • How a Stray Cat from Hong Kong Became a Hero of Sino-British Military Clash Known As the Yangtze Incident
    How a stray cat from Hong Kong became a hero of Sino-British military clash known as the Yangtze incident When the HMS Amethyst came under fire from communist Chinese forces on the Yangtze River in 1949, fearless feline Simon kept the spirits of the crew up and the rat population down, his gallant efforts earning him a military medal Kylie Knott Published: 6:15pm, 13 Oct, 2017 (South China Morning Post) (Simon the ship’s cat aboard HMS Amethyst. The Hong Kong-born cat received the PDSA Dickin Medal. Photo: courtesy of the PDSA) Second world war veteran Stewart Hett wore many hats while serving as a lieutenant on the British frigate HMS Amethyst in Asia in the late 1940s. “I was responsible for the ship’s anchor and its classified books. As sports officer I organised games, and as education officer I helped the crew with their exams,” says the 91-year-old from his home in Northwood in London. (Stewart Hett aboard the HMS Amethyst in 1949. Photo: courtesy of Stewart Hett) But one title Hett didn’t expect was “Cat Officer”, charged with looking after fan mail for a Hong Kong-born stray called Simon. Simon is the only feline recipient of the PDSA Dickin Medal that honours the work of animals who are heroes in conflict situations. Bearing the words “For Gallantry” and “We Also Serve” on a green, brown, and blue ribbon, it was established in 1943 by British animal welfare pioneer Maria Dickin.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
