London ..England………….
A medal presented to the only dog officially registered as a Second World War prisoner of war has gone on display for the first time.
English Pointer Judy became a celebrity when she returned home in 1945 after three years in a Japanese PoW camp in Sumatra.
The award is on display at the Imperial War Museum.
Read the story.............................
