GW064B – The Aussie Footballer – Albert Jacka VC

Albert Jacka became the first Australian to receive the Victoria Cross during the First World War, earning the award for extraordinary bravery at Gallipoli in May 1915.

Before the war Jacka had been a keen sportsman, and GW064B – The Aussie Footballer presents this famous Australian soldier in a very different way from the battlefield imagery normally associated with him.

The football theme brings a wonderfully human dimension to the figure, reminding us that the decorated soldiers of the Great War had ordinary lives and interests away from combat.

Available from The Military Workshop – a distinctive Thomas Gunn portrayal of Albert Jacka VC celebrating both the soldier and the Australian behind one of our nation's most famous Great War stories.
