"Simpson and the Donkey," heroes of Gallipoli. On the left is the original photograph which is said to have given the late Sapper Horace Moore-Jones the idea for the painting on the right. "Simpson" was Private John Simpson Kirkpatrich, of the 3rd Field Ambulance, who, with his donkey, daily, after the landing, during fire of any severity, carried men with leg wounds to the beach. On May 19 1915, he was killed by shell-fire. At the bottom of the picture on the right is the autographed statement of Sapper Moore-Jones "To the memory of our hero comrade 'Murphy' (Simpson), killed May, 1915,"
