Of course you wouldn't Janie, unless you are a military historian of Australian Wartime heroics in WW1 - viz: the Gallipoli Landings of 1915. Here is the link for your information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Simpson_Kirkpatrick
Hope it works for you - or just type in John Simpson and his donkey, Gallipoli. Cheers Colin
Jo-Anne I remember learning about John Simpson and his donkey when I was in Primary School in the Social Studies classes of the day. I think whenever I saw a donkey way back then in the early 1950's I thought of John Patrick Simpson. I think he was awarded the VC for his exploits or at least the MC. Cheers Colin
