Mixing miliary and biological topics....

How many animals have won the Dickin Medal (called the "animal VC")?

Tom

 

Are we talking species or actual individuals?

If species my guess is 2.

 

My guess is 0

 

Individuals -- how many medals have been awarded?

Species is more than 2

Tom

 

200?
and 8 species?

 

Well, how many species of animal would serve in the military? There's carrier pigeons, which I'm sure have won this medal at some point; then probably what remains is dogs and horses, so my guess of species is three. Unless they still use canaries to find gas...

As to how many have been awarded - 10, 20 maybe?

 

oh those big rats to find mines, lets not forget dolphins they were used to find mines in iraqi harbours.

 

Just the number of medals awarded please -- clue, it is less than 100 and more than Roel's guess

Tom

 

is it 1?

damn , i remember hearing something about this

 

12?

 

More than 20 and 2 figures.....

Keep trying
