Taken from the book Dogs of Character:-
Nonie, a scotch terrier, a rather well-known canine character during the war, who belonged to a Colonel in the R.A.F. When this dog came to me to sit he was a very proud personage, wearing all his medals in the form of engraved discs attached to his collar. He had had rather an exciting career, as he was born on H.M.S. Lion during the battle of Jutland, and when he was full grown had constantly been "up" bombing over the German lines, had flown the Channel, and even been into action in a tank.
