7th February 2014, just after the Taliban video was released, there was talk of Colonel getting the Dickin Medal. (the animal VC.)
Quite honestly I am dismayed because a VC is usually bestowed posthumously. Also -what does a medal matter to a dog?? That is just a 'human thing'.
Anyway, at that time, anything could have been garbled, or made up. especially by journalists.....
They said at the time a rescue attempt was "unlikely". Presumably because the MOD couldn't be seen to risk human soldiers' lives in order to rescue a dog:
