FOOTNOTES:
[10] This origin is a myth. The parents landed with the troops on April 25, 1915. Murphy, who bore a red cross between his two long ears, is said (in company with his master, Pte. Simpson, 3rd Australian Field Ambulance) to have carried 72 wounded men from the firing line through Shrapnel Gully, at the time when that valley thoroughly earned its name, before his master met his death on one of these errands of mercy. Murphy himself was subsequently hit by a shell, but happily survives, and was, we believe, brought safely away from Anzac.—Eds.
