    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.

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.

  • "We Are the Young Europeans," Boasts Ireland's Industrial Development Authority
    "We are the young Europeans," boasts Ireland's Industrial Development Authority. When this Kerryman was photographed a century ago, continu- ing emigration threatened to make Ireland a country populated chiefly by old people and children. Today's young Irish adults are staying home. The Wilson QuarterlyISpring 1985 48 The Irish Mention Bolivia or Belgium to the average American adult, and the conversation will soon flag. Bring up Ireland, and the talk will always find a focus. Yeats? Killarney? Guinness? Associa- tions generously tumble forth. Some 40 million Americans have Irish blood in their veins; five times that many, it seems, believe they can imitate an Irish brogue. Often overlooked-veiled, per- haps, by an assumed familiarity-is how unfamiliar to most Americans the Republic of Ireland really is. The Republic is, to- day, a Common Market member with some 20th-century prob- lems, some 21st-century industries, and some abiding (if eroding) 19th-century attitudes. As Britain's Prime Minister William Gladstone noted a century ago, the behavior of the En- glish toward the Irish constituted the darkest stain upon the his- tory of a splendid people. As continued strife in Northern Ireland attests, old passions remain. Our contributors here focus on the Republic of Ireland-on its past and its present-and on the peculiar Irish immigrant experience in America. TROUBLES by Thomas C. Garvin Nature placed Ireland exactly the wrong distance from Great Britain. Had the island been somewhat closer to its larger sister, the Irish people might well have become more fully assimilated into the British family, much as the Scots and Welsh have been.
