The only UK award for any animal in military conflict is the Dickin Medal, commonly referred to as the "animals' Victoria Cross", which is presented by the People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA).

All animals in war are now commemorated by the Animals In War Memorial in Park Lane, London, unveiled by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal in November 2004 on the 90th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
