Product Description

The donkey's life was carting rocks and big bags of manure. And then he met the men who would change his world...
Jack Simpson's code is simple: do your best. But his training as a stretcher-bearer hasn't prepated him or his mates for the horror of the ANZAC landing on the well-defended shore of the Gallipoli Peninsula. War is not the adventure they expected.
Carrying a wounded soldier down to the beach on his shoulders, Jack finds a donkey, who miraculously survived being thrown overboard as the troop ships sailed away. Jack and the donkey form a partnership that will become famous. And even when it is over there is still work for the donkey to do, and other hands to tend and love him.
