The littlest hero of the pacific war

After a patrol of diggers were pinned down by enemy fire in Papua New Guinea, it was up to a pigeon named Q to send for help. Its tale is told by author Mark Wilson, whose book Flapper VC, aims to introduce the courageous creature to kids who may never have heard of Australia’s history at war.
