About This Item

Simpson and his Donkey.

Simpson and his Donkey.
John "Jack" Simpson Kirkpatrick (6 July 1892 – 19 May 1915), who served under the name John Simpson, was a stretcher bearer with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I.  After landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915, he obtained a donkey and began carrying wounded British Empire soldiers from the frontline to the beach, for evacuation.  He continued this work for three and a half weeks, often under fire, until he was killed.  Simpson and his Donkey are a key part of the "Anzac legend".     Jack Simpson was burried at Gallipoli.
