Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. A moving biographical account of John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the legendary stretcher-bearer of the Gallipoli Campaign who became an enduring symbol of ANZAC courage and humanitarian spirit. Drawing on letters, firsthand accounts, and historical records, Benson reconstructs Simpson's life - from his youth in South Shields to his service in World War I - culminating in his heroic efforts rescuing wounded soldiers with the aid of a donkey under fire at Shrapnel Gully. This copy is a 1965 second impression, as stated on the copyright page ('First Published 1965 / Second Impression 1965'), issued by Hodder and Stoughton, a major British publisher known for mid-20th century historical and biographical works. The book includes photographic illustrations, including a frontispiece portrait of Simpson and a notable image of him with his donkey at Gallipoli. The dust jacket design ties into the ANZAC commemorative imagery of the period, including reference to the 50th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. Book is graded Near Fine, with clean, bright blue cloth boards, sharp gilt spine lettering, and a tight, square binding. Interior is clean and unmarked, with crisp pages and strong hinges. The top edge is stained red as issued. The dust jacket is graded Very Good, protected in a modern clear sleeve; visible scuffing and surface marks noted are confined to the protective cover rather than the jacket itself. The jacket shows light general wear, mild toning, and minor edge handling, but remains highly presentable. Sir Irving Benson (1877-1965) was an Australian Methodist minister, social reformer, and author known for his advocacy work and interest in moral and historical subjects. He wrote extensively on social issues and notable figures, bringing a reflective and humanitarian perspective to his biographies. The Man with the Donkey remains one of his best-known works, preserving the legacy of one of Australia's most iconic wartime figures. …
