The original Dickin Medal is in silver (33mm) and is awarded by the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals to recognise acts of bravery by birds and animals in wartime, generally known as the Animal's V.C. Only two of the original silver medals have been awarded. This medal would appear to be an unofficial issue by members of the A.I.F.
