   William of Orange is a title used by several historical figures from the House of Orange-Nassau, a European aristocratic dynasty founded by William I, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg. The most notable individuals were William I of Orange (also known as William the Silent), the main leader of the Dutch Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs, leading to the Eighty Years' War and the establishment of the Dutch Republic; and William III of Orange, who ruled as King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1689 until his death in 1702, jointly reigning with his wife, Mary II, in what is known as the Glorious Revolution.

1. William of Orange

   William of Orange was a male pigeon soldier of MI14. He was awarded the 21st Dickin Medal for delivering a message from the Arnhem Airborne Operation. This message saved more than 2000 soldiers at the time of the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Its official name in military record is NPS.42.NS.15125. He received the medal in May 1945. Communications in that battle were a problem for the Allied units; German troops had surrounded the airborne forces and the few radio sets present malfunctioned. William of Orange was released by British soldiers at 10:30 on September 19, 1944 and arrived at his nest box in England at 14:55. He flew over 400 km and the message he carried was one of few to make their way back to the United Kingdom. William of Orange was bred by Sir William Proctor Smith of Cheshire and trained by the Army Pigeon Service of the Royal Signals. Smith bought him out of service for £185 and ten years later reported that William was "the grandfather of many outstanding racing pigeons".
