Speckled Jim

Today was Army Innovation Day here in Canberra and I’ve been quite heavily involved in arrangements. With a theme of network assurance, the Australian Army Historical Unit had a display featuring network assurance through the ages. Hence, the pigeon....

In my head, I can’t quite shake the Speckled Jim episode from Blackadder Goes Forth!

In all seriousness, apparently this pigeon was awarded the Dickens Medal, which is the animal equivalent of the George Cross.

Every day is a school day...
