$1 2015 Unlikely Heroes Great & Small - Horrie the Dog UNC
The third and fourth al/bronze uncirculated one dollar coins to be represented in a new six coin Unlikely Heroes - Great and Small series are Shake the Kangaroo and Horrie the Dog.
During WWII many kangaroos travelled to the battlefields with soldiers becoming mascots for a number of regiments. One special kangaroo became the star of a photograph in which he was shaking hands with an Australian soldier near the Egyptian pyramids. This was a powerful image of battlers connecting with home and the kangaroo earned the nickname Shake.
In Egypt 1941 private Jim Moody VX13091 of the 2/1st Machine Gun Battalion discovered a puppy in the Ikingi Mariut area of the Western Desert. The dog was named Horrie and used a distinctive bark to warn the battalion that the enemy was approaching. He was given the service number EX1 and travelled to Greece Crete Palestine and Syria before being smuggled into Australia.
