"For 24 days, from the day after The Landing at Anzac, John Simpson Kirkpatrick toiled up and down the broken, overgrown track, carrying wounded soldiers from the head of Monash Valley to the beach hospital, on the back of a donkey. He worked all day and halfway into the night, totally exposed for most of the time to the rifle, machine-gun and shell fire which constantly swept the 'Valley of Death.' Several of his donkeys were killed, and some of his passengers were hit again, some fatally, right next to him. How he survived for quiet so long is quiet incredible. Making between 12 and 15 trips a day he rescued somewhere in the region of 300 wounded soldiers. Five statues, or statuettes throughout Australia honour the deeds of 'the most legendary Anzac of them all.' This is his story."
