$1 2015 Unlikely Heroes Great & Small - Blue Chequer Cock UNC
The final two al/bronze uncirculated one dollar coins to be released in the Unlikely Heroes - Great and Small series are the Blue Chequer Cock (Pidgeon) and Sandy the War Horse.
During World War II when Australia was fighting alongside the USA the Japanese attacked a US Marine patrol on Manus Island. The soldiers needed help but their radio had failed. With pigeon power as their only hope DD.43.Q.879 had to face the danger when two other pigeons had already been shot down. Against the odds he reached HQ with this important message and help was dispatched to save the patrol.
During World War I 6100 Australian horses were deployed overseas. 'Walers' was the name given to horses used by the Australian Imperial Force in Magdhaba and Beersheba throughout the Middle East Campaign. Of the 6100 'Walers' who fought alongside our soldiers only one horse completed his journey back home: Sandy the War Horse.
