Captain

Description

“He may be small, but he’s got more courage than anyone but that blasted donkey.” Told some years later by the guilt-ridden Jack, a light horseman at Gallipoli in the First World War, this is the story of a little refugee boy affectionately known as Captain, and his donkey, Hey-Ho. At first the small boy and his donkey are mocked by the rest of the cavalry, with their big, powerful horses, but soon they all realize that Captain and Hey-Ho have more spirit and determination than the rest of the troop put together.
