Based on the famous story of Simpson and his Donkey - this book examines the remarkable life of the man and the donkey who become a legend at Gallipoli‚ even among the Turkish forces.
The donkey named Duffy was found grazing in a gully by Simpson‚ ex-trade union campaigner and a stretcher bearer. But in the hell that was Gallipoli there weren't enough stretchers for all the wounded and Simpson had been carrying wounded men across his shoulders. Once he had Duffy to assist him‚ Simpson fashioned a bridle out of bandages‚ and began to use the donkey to carry more than 300 wounded to the ambulance stations.
