Description

This print was incorrectly captioned 'Murphy of Anzac' implying that it was 202 John Simpson Kirkpatrick (he enlisted as John Simpson) and his donkey. It is not Simpson, but is probably 1025 Private Leonard Arthur Johnson, 4th Australian Field Ambulance. The donkeys have red cross headbands.
