Everything about G I Joe Pigeon totally explained
G.I. Joe (
March 24,
1943 in
Algiers -
June 3,
1961 in
Detroit) is possibly one of the most famous
pigeons in world history, serving much of its life in the
United States Army Pigeon Service as one of over 54,000 pigeons in the force.
In
World War II, G.I. Joe saved the lives of the inhabitants of the village of
Calvi Vecchia,
Italy, and of the
British troops stationed there. The village was scheduled to be bombarded by the
Allied forces on 18 October
1943, but the message that the British had captured the village, delivered by G.I. Joe, arrived just in time to avoid the bombing. Over a thousand people were saved.
In November
1946, G.I. Joe was presented with a high award, the
Dickin Medal for gallantry.
