An original production colour lithograph 'Heroes of the Red Cross, private simpson, D.C.M & his donkey at Anzac, from the original water-colour drawing by Sapper H. Moore-Jones', original entitlement label verso. Inscribed in the image: 'To the memory of our Hero Comrade Murphy (simpson) Killed May 1915. Sapper H. Moore-Jones 1915'. 33 x 24.5 cm, framed under glass. Simpson, a stretcher bearer in the Gallipoli campaign worked for only three and a half weeks, often under fire, until he was killed, the story becoming a key element of the Anzac legend. The image painted by Moore-Jones was actually worked from a photograph of NZ medical Corps Pte. Dick Henderson who performed the same deeds for a period of six weeks at Gallipoli, later serving at the Somme where he was awarded the Mm.
