The donkey.

John Simpson Kirkpatrick and his donkey are remembered as ANZAC legends, and heroes. Simpson took one (and later more) of the donkeys that had been landed with the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli and, instead of just using them as water-carriers, used the donkeys to carry wounded men through the treacherous Shrapnel Gully at Gallipoli to where they would be treated and evacuated from the beaches.

Simpson himself was killed just three weeks after he took on the work of cheerfully carrying wounded soldiers back through the gunfire. The donkey continued on with another wounded man on his back, carrying him to safety.
