Simpson and the Donkey Anniversary Edition
The Making of a Legend
Peter Cochrane
Anniversary Edition, new foreword
The simple tale of Simpson and his donkey is the pre-eminent legend of heroism. It is the story of a humble water-carrier, a rescuer of wounded men, a tale of compassion, stoic persistence, with a tragic end. His tale is an integral part of the Anzac story.
