ABOUT
An account of the World War I war hero of Gallipoli - John Simpson was a stretcher-bearer in the 3rd Australian Field Ambulance.
He came ashore during the Anzac landing of 25 April 1915 and was killed less than 3 weeks later. Simpson used donkeys to transport wounded men from the fighting in Monash Valley down to the dressing (first-aid) station at Anzac Cove. He was probably the first stretcher-bearer on Gallipoli to use a donkey to transport wounded men. The donkey used by Simpson was landed on the first day of the Gallipoli campaign, one of a number brought ashore to carry water.
