Bamse (teddy bear) was an official member of a Norwegian minesweeper (The Thorrod) in the 2nd world war - even getting his own steel helmet.When Norway lost their fight with Germany The Thorodd escaped to East Scotland. He was posthumously awarded the Norges Hundeorden (1984) and the PDSA Gold Medal, the equivalent of the George Cross, (2006). A true hero
