Acts of valour by men and animals since The Great War. This talk tells the stories of both Men and Animals, their devotion to duty, amazing stories of bravery and selflessness. Both Men and Animals showed they were fearless, relentless, diligent and resolute. We will tell stories of VC recipients spanning from WW1 to the present day and about Animals awarded the Dickin Medal over the same time period. The Victoria Cross has only been awarded 1,358 times since its inception in 1856. The Dickin Medal, regarded as the VC for Animals, has been awarded 72 times since its creation in 1943.
Views: 19 | Enquiries: 0Having retired from a career in IT and Business Project Management, continued to build up a strong knowledge and interest in Military History. Working with a friend, Mick Byrne, we have developed a compelling passion for WWI history. We visit Belgium/France each year to research our WWI interest. We’d like to share our stories with Groups. It is the background and stories of the Events which receive our (and hopefully your) attention.
