People now want to avoid that fact, but it is true that was the dog's name.
The digging up of the grave to change the headstone will not change that.
Personally, I feel that that attempt to change history is very sad.
The dog was not only Guy Gibson's but was a mascot for the squadron and held with great affection.
Many didn't return from that raid, as is true with many other conflicts.
They sacrificed their lives for freedom.
Now our freedom of speech, which is of paramount importance, is constantly undermined.
Now people are in fear of saying anything slightly wrong.
Is this controlled heavy censorship that these boys gave their blood for?
