Comments: The story of John Simpson Kirkpatrick – Australian Army Medical Corps (AAMC) and the legend he created.
This is the fascinating story of an ordinary man who did extraordinary things in a critical situation. A stretcher bearer on Gallipoli who did not know he was a hero. Day after day he brought hundreds of wounded men down the shrapnel-swept gully. He has become a symbol of the valour and ingenuity of Anzac soldiers. Now a legend, he is remembered as Simpson and his Donkey.
