John Simpson Kirkpatrick Stamp Info
In 1965 Australia and her dependencies issued common design
stamps to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the landing of Australia New
Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) forces at Gallipoli, Turkey during the First World
War. Depicted on these stamps is a man holding another man who is astride a
donkey. The design on the stamps was done by Can Andrew based on a statue by
Wallace Anderson now at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne. The statue,
made and cast in 1986, is called "Simpson and his Donkey".
