Hero World War Two pigeon’s bravery medal set to sell for huge sum at auction A MEDAL awarded to a hero pigeon in World War Two is set to sell for £10,000 at auction.
A postman found him exhausted and gave him to pigeon fancier and Resistance member Dick Dryver.
Tommy was supposed to be racing from Dorset to Cumbria in 1942 when a storm blew him into Nazi-occupied Holland.
He identified Tommy as British from a leg ring, nursed him to fitnesses and released him with a secret message.
The Germans had become aware pigeons were being used this way, and Tommy was shot through the wing by a sniper.
