The vast majority (and all those awards to pigeons) were granted in respect of acts of bravery in the Second World War, but more recently a number of awards have been made to Arms and Explosives Search Dogs of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps for their gallantry in Iraq and Afghanistan. P.D.S.A. Dickin Medal for Gallantry awarded 8 February 1945. The accompanying P.D.S.A. (The People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals) and A.F.M.C. (Allied Forces Mascot Club) certificate states: ‘This is to certify that Rob, War Dog No 471/322 has been awarded the Dickin Medal for Gallantry for outstanding service including 20 parachute descents while serving with Infantry in North Africa and SAS Regiment in Italy. Signed M. E. Dickin (Founder). Inscription to the reverse reads: ‘War Dog No 471/322 “Rob” took part in the landings in the North African campaign with an Infantry unit. Since September 1943, he has served with a Special Air Force Regiment and took part in operations with that Unit in Italy, most of which were of an unpleasant nature. He was used as patrol and guard over small parties who were lying up in enemy occupied territory. There is no doubt that his presence with these parties saved many of them from being discovered, and thereby captured or killed. The Dog has made over 20 parachute descents.’ Rob, a black-and-white collie-retriever, was bought as a puppy in 1939 for 5 shillings, and lived his early years with the Bayne family of Tetchill, Ellesmere, Shropshire, as their farm dog and pet. When Rob was still a small puppy, he went on an exploration beyond the boundaries of Tetchill and was brought home by John Brunt, then a schoolboy at Ellesmere College. John became a frequent visitor, taking Rob for walks when time allowed. After leaving college John joined the army and led a distinguished career until he was killed in action. On the day that Rob received the ‘animal V.C.’, it was announced that John had been posthumously awarded the V.C., a strange but sad coincidence that the boy and a dog who roamed the Shropshire fields together should both have received the highest honour. At the time of receiving the award, his owner, Edward Bayne, told the Oban Times how caring he had been as a farm dog: ‘He used to help settle the chicks in their houses at night, picking them up in his mouth when they had strayed away - he had a wonderful mouth - and tucking them in under their mothers.’ The Baynes’ son, Basil, had learnt to walk by holding onto Rob’s tail or clutching his coat, and if the child was crying Rob put his front paws up on the pram, soothed him and made him laugh. Rob’s owners volunteered him as a War Dog in 1942 and he was signed up on 19 May of that year. Following action in the North Africa campaign, from September 1943 Rob served with the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), the first war dog to do so. With the regiment, he took part in operations in Italy, parachuting in on sabotage missions. According to official War Office records, Rob completed more than 20 parachute descents, 3 of them operational. An account included with the lot gives further details of his war-time exploits: ‘At nearby Sousse, the 2nd S.A.S., then virtually unknown, had their training base. Captain Burt was a very worried man. The commanding officer was away ill and stores were disappearing in a most disconcerting way. Captain Burt asked the holding section for 2 dogs. One developed skin disease and was returned - the other was Rob, who proved more than equal to the task. He soon became race conscious and pilfering Arabs became honest men over night! It was from there that the 2nd S.A.S. practised their parachute drops and one day the men smuggled Rob up in the plane for a ride. It was all they could do to prevent him from jumping out after the men. So they borrowed a harness from a nearby American base who were trying to train dogs to jump and on the next flight up, again took Rob with them. This time Rob jumped and on landing the men ran to him to release him from the parachute. He had made a perfect drop, falling silently without panic through the air. It was only at this point that the commanding officer was informed of the fact that Rob had been airborne and from then on his training began in earnest.’ The account tells how Rob later completed three separate sabotage missions behind enemy lines. A letter from Jennifer Hodges, daughter of Victor (Sam) Redhead, Rob’s S.A.S. handler, confirms Redhead’s account of how Rob would ‘eagerly parachute ahead of my father and his S.A.S. group and then bring them together as soon as possible after they had landed’. The letter continues: ‘While the soldiers were sleeping Rob would patrol round them and lick their faces to bring them to instant wakefulness at the slightest sound. On one mission, he went missing for five weeks but in that time he rounded up all the widely scattered members of his 2nd S.A.S. patrol and they returned home safely’. (letter included with lot refers). Rob was the first War Dog attached to the S.A.S. to be awarded the ‘animal V.C.’, and was reportedly the only War Dog to have been nominated for the Dickin Medal by the War Office. He was presented with his Dickin Medal by Major the Hon. W. P. Sidney V.C. M.P. (later Viscount de L’Isle, V.C., K.G., G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O.), the Anzio beachhead hero, at a ceremony at the Prisoner of War Funds Exhibition in London on 8 February 1945. Demobilised on 27 November 1945, Rob led the Wembley Parade of 32 war dogs on 16 July 1947 in front of 10,000 spectators, being the only dog present to hold both the Dickin Medal and the R.S.P.C.A. Red Collar and Medallion for Valour. Following his wartime exploits, Rob was returned to the Baynes and settled back into family life on the farm, occasionally making public appearances to help raise funds for returning Prisoners of War and their families. In February 1948 he disappeared for five days with his companion, the Baynes’ other dog, Judy, a spaniel. Extensive press coverage accompanied the disappearance, with some papers expressing the fear that Rob might have been kidnapped, The Daily Graphic describing him as ‘the no. 1 canine hero of the war’. Five days later he was found by a neighbouring farmer, his face gashed and suffering from exhaustion, with Judy standing guard over him, his collar and ribbon missing. It appeared that he had been caught in a rabbit hole. His damaged collar, now missing its buckle, was later recovered, an...
