by Mark Greenwood

Two unlikely heroes rescue hundreds of men wounded in war in a poignant picture book based on a true tale of World War I.

Braving bullets and bombs on the battlefields of Gallipoli, Jack brings a donkey to the aid of 300 Allied soldiers -- earning both man and donkey a beloved spot in legend.
