Not Only A Hero

Ann illustrated life of Simpson-the man with the donkey..
Pub 1998

Gallipoli was instrumental in defining Australian Nationhood during WW1.
The Anzac's demonstrated that Australians possessed outstanding qualifications of courage, determination and patriotism. The man with the donkey, Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick, is a legondary figure who typifies these qualifications.
Behind the story is the fascinating story of an English Tyneside lad with a love for animals, and a particular affinity for donkeys.
