The latest book from New York Times bestselling author, Robin Hutton, honoring the animals that served in World War II. Many animals in the book received the British award, the PDSA Dickin Medal, also known as the "Victoria Cross for Animals." These stories also inspired the new Animals in War and Peace Medal of Bravery and Distinguished Service Medal, and the International War Animals Museum. (Click here)
The 2nd Animals in War and Peace Medal Ceremony is now in the record books, and it was a resounding success!
