Shrapnel Valley, Gallipoli
30 April 1915
I am Jack Simpson and I am very upset because my
best friend died because I could not make it to him in
time.
Yesterday I found a donkey and I named him Duffy. We
get to the hurt soldiers much faster so the people do not
die. As we were walking along the rocky, bumpy path to
get a soldier I heard a scream from nearby. We found
an injured soldier who was my friend from school. He
rode on my donkey and I supported him. When we got
back down there were no stretchers left for my friend
and no doctors ready to help him so he died. I feel so
sad, he is the last friend I have. At night he would cry to
himself, he felt so lonely and afraid.
As I roll around on the ground to get comfortable I think
how upsetting the war is.
