Murphy the Donkey who helped the Soldiers

Murphy the Donkey who helped the Soldiers is based on the true story of John 'Jack Simpson' Kirkpatrick and his Donkey. The bravery of this "man with the donkey" soon became the most prominent symbol of Australian courage and tenacity on Gallipoli.

The story of the soldier who rescued wounded men on Gallipoli with a donkey has been told to successive generations of schoolchildren. Simpson's actions are regarded as the highest expression of mate-ship, and he remains one of Australia's best known historical figures.
