Sergeant Gander: A Soldier's Soldier – Film Screening and Q&A
US Army Vietnam Veteran JP Bear shares his research and presents a short film honoring Sergeant Gander, a Newfoundland Dog and mascot of the Royal Rifles of Canada during World War II.
Sergeant Gander was a member of “C” Force during the Battle of Hong Kong and died in combat. In 2000, he was posthumously awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal – often called the “animals’ Victoria Cross” – for bravery.
A Q&A will follow the screening of the 11-minute film SGT Gander: A Soldier's Soldier.
Cost: Free. A ticket is required. Reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
