On its own, a donkey does not have a lot to do with war. However, when one refers to the story of John Simpson Kirkpatrick and the landing of the ANZACs, the donkey helps to epitomise hope in the midst of war. Simpson landed at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915 and, from the first night, took a donkey (or possibly a couple) that had been landed for one of the field artillery units, and began carrying wounded soldiers from the battle line to the beach for evacuation. Leading the donkey/s, which he variously named Duffy or Murphy, he began his journeys from the beach, up Shrapnel Gully and then Monash Valley. He carried water on his way and wounded on his way back. Simpson continued this for three and a half weeks, disregarding the danger until, on the morning of 19 May 1915, he was killed by Turkish machine gun fire near Steele's Post, as he was returning down Monash Valley with a wounded man. The donkey continued on the well-worn track, obediently carrying the wounded man to where he would be tended.
Simpson and his donkey were not in World War 2: Simpson was shot dead at Gallipoli in 1915 after three and a half weeks carrying wounded men on the donkey. His role as stretcher-bearer with a donkey was taken over by New Zealand teacher Richard Henderson. The donkey lasted throughout the Gallipoli campaign, and was eventually evacuated with the troops eight months later.
None, they were f*cking run away from the war. And I didnt know Jessica Sipmson was that old.
Well it was originally meant to be held in 1936, but was postponed for 12 yearsdue to the effects of World War II. So it got pushed to 1948, and that's whereJapan and Germany weren't invited. But then the Cold War messed with theathletes heads since they were always scared of getting bombed by the countriesproducing nuclear weapons.
The French and Indian War got its name because the war contained France and the Native Americans against the Brittish and American colonies.
they got involved in war because the others declared war :)
