BONUS EPISODE History For Her - Valiant Vermin: The Secret Pigeon Service and the Dickin Medal

In this bonus episode Zero Hours Presents History For Her - where I talk about notable women from history. 
As a bit of a history nerd I watch an awful lot of historical documentaries - so much of it is about the actions of rich powerful men and frankly, I am bored of it. 
In this episode I talk about the contributions of the Secret Pigeon Service during the World War 2, the Dickin Medal which has been described as the Victoria Cross for animals, and I talk about Judy the ship's dog who is soon to be your idol.
