This year marks 80 years since the PDSA Dickin Medal was first awarded to acknowledge outstanding acts of bravery by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units.
The PDSA Dickin Medal is the highest award any animal can receive whilst serving in military conflict. It is recognised worldwide as the animals’ Victoria Cross. Instituted in 1943 by PDSA’s founder Maria Dickin CBE, it acknowledges outstanding acts of bravery or devotion to duty displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war throughout the world.
On behalf of the 75 Dickin Medal recipients, four of these incredible animals represent the bravery and devotion they all carried out during conflict.
