  • Colorado 1861 Territorial Election
    Colorado 1861 Territorial Election The accompanying files, edited by John Chandler Clement, make up the electronic edition of the list of Colorado voters in the 1861 territorial election originally published by the Colorado Genealogical Society-Computer Interest Group. The original hard copy of this publication can be found in the Western History/Genealogy Department of the Denver Public Library. File list: The Preface: How this work came to be. Credits The Introduction: Explanations. Source of data. Proclamation: The governor’s election proclamation. List of Voters. Hints: 1. The proclamation file may be found valuable since it shows the geographical boundaries of each voting district. 2. The data file lists Voters in the order that they show in the poll books, by location. Each voter shows a code such as :DDD-10. 3. The :DDD represents the code for the poll location and the 10 means that person is the tenth to be listed at that poll location. 4. Voters are listed in this sequence since it may be of historical or genealogical value to determine who is listed before and after each voter. 5. A list of all poll location codes is in the introduction. 6. To search for locations, determine the location code in the introduction and then search for the code (e.g, :MM). 7. To search for a name, it is probably best to search for the surname only, taking into account that there may be various ways to spell the same surname. by John Chandler Clement, August 6, 1996 Colorado 1861 Territorial Election Preface A special thanks to Terry Ketelsen, Colorado State Archivist, and his staff for their assistance with this project.

  • 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.

In , Yeager returned to operational flying when he assumed command of the th Fighter Bomber Squadron, which was equipped with FH Sabres. Initially Yeager trained as a mechanic, but in he learned about an Army Air Forces initiative to increase the number of American combat pilots by accepting applications from enlisted men with no college education. As he moved forward though, he spotted a navigational buoy and alerted Chatham Station that he was coming up to the pier with his survivors.

  • WHAT the DICKIN(S)
    WHAT THE DICKIN(s) 1 What is the Dickin Medal? Various Recipients Other Awards Animals in War Memorial, London 2 Maria Dickin (1870-1951) Maria Dickin CBE was a social reformer and an animal welfare pioneer. In 1917 she founded the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA). • PDSA is a British veterinary charity which provides care for sick and injured animals of the poor. • PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity. 3 Foundation and development During World War I, animal welfare pioneer Maria Dickin 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. Despite widespread scepticism, she opened her free "dispensary" in a Whitechapel basement on Saturday 17 November 1917. It was an immediate success and she was soon forced to find larger premises. Within six years, Maria Dickin had designed and equipped her first horse-drawn clinic, and soon a fleet of mobile dispensaries was established. PDSA vehicles soon became a common sight throughout the country. Eventually, PDSA's role was defined by two Acts of Parliament, in 1949 and 1956, that continue to govern its activities today. 4 The Dickin Medal In 1943, the PDSA created the Dickin Medal and named it for Maria Dickin. It was initially to honour the work of animals in World War II. It is awarded to animals that have displayed "conspicuous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving or associated with any branch of the Armed Forces or Civil Defence Units".

  • Pdsa Dickin Medal Dm 69
    MALI DM 69 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL MALI DM 69 “For tireless bravery and devotion to duty during an operation in Afghanistan with the British Military in 2012.” Date of Award: 17 November 2017 MALI’S STORY Eight-year-old Belgian Malinois Mali worked with a British Military unit deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. During his tenure, Mali assisted in a highly sensitive operation to secure an enemy stronghold, situated in a multi-storey building. His role was to detect explosives and insurgents, alerting his colleagues to their presence and giving them vital seconds to prepare to engage the enemy. During the seven-and-a-half-hour mission, an intense firefight took place. Mali was hoisted up the outside of the building several times to provide the assault force with a key foothold. He went above and beyond the call of duty, indicating the presence of insurgents numerous times, as well as moving through direct fire on two separate occasions while searching for explosives. “HER CHEST AND LEGS SUSTAINED SHRAPNEL INJURIES...” The unit sustained casualties during the operation. Mali was also seriously injured by three grenade blasts. The first two explosions caused injuries to his chest, front and rear legs. The final grenade exploded close to his face, knocking out a tooth and damaging his ear. Despite his injuries, Mali continued his duties and pushed forward, remaining close to his handler throughout. Mali went on to make a full recovery. His gallantry and devotion to duty earned him a PDSA Dickin Medal – which uniquely bears a commemorative ‘Centenary bar’ to mark the 100th anniversary of PDSA.
