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.

The initial reason for the ANZAC remembrance was the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. 744 men were killed on the first day, and about 620 of them were Australian. Over the ensuing months, many more were killed, but this was not a single battle - it was a long, protracted campaign, the Campaign of Gallipoli.
