Description
The mother donkey (pictured), along with her mate, was at Anzac Cove when the troops landed there. She survived being twice wounded and remained throughout the campaign; her mate was wounded several times and subsequently killed. The young donkey, offspring of the two, was born at Shell Green and taken to Egypt when the troops were evacuated.
