	The World Today - Simpson not an Australian icon, historians say
		Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick, who saved many lives on the Gallipoli battlefield by retrieving wounded men on his donkey, and who finally died in the effort, was described by Brendan Nelson yesterday as someone who epitomised the sort of Australian values that should be taught in Islamic schools around the country.
		So he was enlisted as Simpson and, you know, the myth grew out of it and it got quite out of hand, and there was references right through the war and well into the 20s of this man as a six-foot Australian.
		Rather, he was pointing to the values that Simpson upheld, those values that saw him put the interests and welfare of others ahead of his own, risking his life for his comrades and ultimately losing his life in a foreign land.
