After the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli in April 1915, Henderson was stationed as a stretcher-bearer, a dangerous role as they had to rescue the wounded from the battlefield, often under heavy fire.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the efforts of John Simpson Kirkpatrick, who had died while bravely rescuing soldiers with his donkey, Henderson took up the same method, using a donkey to ferry wounded soldiers from the front lines to medical aid stations. Henderson, like Simpson before him, worked tirelessly, saving countless lives despite the constant threat of enemy fire.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m1dpeks3-815af35251548242a6bcd7e107bbd5b5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-m1dpeks3-815af35251548242a6bcd7e107bbd5b5{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-m1dpeks3-815af35251548242a6bcd7e107bbd5b5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-m1dpeks3-815af35251548242a6bcd7e107bbd5b5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-m1dpeks3-815af35251548242a6bcd7e107bbd5b5 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >A Symbol of Courage<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m1dpeu6c-4be6f2d47b0f32c1c6567ed15f78bb68 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The image of Henderson and his donkey has become legendary in New Zealand.
