by Mark Greenwood Jack Simpson always had a special ability, or gift, with animals, especially donkeys. When he enlists as a stretcher bearer in World War I, his gentle way with those animals soon leads him to his calling. Braving the dangers of the battlefields of Gallipoli in Turkey, Jack brings a donkey to the aid of the Allied soldiers as he transports the wounded and medical supplies. Both Jack and his donkey found a spot in the history books for the assistance they provided in helping 300 men during the nearly month-long battle. Here's a way to get young readers interested in world history and the sacrifices made by some individuals on the field of battle. This engaging true tale is accompanied by a map and brief biographies of other key characters in the story besides Jack. |
