Part of the chainsaw sculpted Memorial by Tim Burgess to recipients of the Dickin Medal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickin_Medal (the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross), in Woodbank Memorial Park. The only cat to have received the medal was Simon. HMS Amethyst's ship's cat was awarded for "gallantry under fire" and for the disposal of many rats despite shrapnel injuries during the Yangtze Incident in 1949.
