Best Answer

The Dicken Medal is an award for valor awarded to animals that have gone above and beyond their duty in the service of their country.

It has been awarded to only one cat, Simon, the ship's cat on HMS Amethyst. Despite being wounded by a cannon shell Simon killed off a rat infestation and greatly raised the moral of his shipmates.
