Just to clarify the question in Post #5, regarding the dog that died after hearing a whistle from its deceased owner.
This was Percy Pickards dog, an Old English Sheep Dog named Ming.
Pickard, of course, was shot down and killed during the Amiens prison attack, in February 1944.
His widow, moved to South Africa after the war and, some years later, I believe in the early 1950s, on the anniversary of Pickard's death, the dog was out on the stoop, when his widow distinctly heard a whistle. The dog, apparently, raised up, let out a howl, and dropped down dead.
