Jacka, the British Intelligence Office at Londou says: "First, there is the account of how Jacka won the V, C. the first time. At that time he was a lance-corporal of the 14th Australians, at that time by Colonel Courtney. "On May 18, after three weeks of continuous fighting, during which the battalion had lost 75 per cent, of its effectives, Sanders Pasha made zaes inte the sea. He sent the Turks against the attenuated Anzac line in overwhelming force, and the chief"fury of the attcak was concen- to Courtney's. Not a Turk got through the Anzac Mues, overcoming the two or three men who held it. The wounded officer managed to give warning of the dan- ger, and Lance-Corporal Jacka rush- ed into the trench alone with fixed hind the (raverse, prevented the comrades rushed to his assistance. to Lieut, Crabbe, them at tie other end of the trench,' Hon. more he killed With his bayonet. trench into the Lands of the who were guarding under Lieat. Crabbe, "That was Jacka's first exploit, in a trench and overcame them. recognition of his astounding gallan- try and of the great service he had rendered, he was awarded a lieuten- ancy and the first V. C, won by an Anzac. "Now comes the second story, and a part of this can be told In Jacka's own language. The incident hap- pened in France, On the night of August 5 Licutenant Jacka, with 44 men of the Fourteenth Bagalion, was sent to relieve the Anzacs, whe were hold!ne an advamced trench to ihe north-east of the village of Pozieres. " 'Kt was not so much of a trench,' says the lieutenant, 'as a number of shell holes joined. by some shallow excavation, "Before. they had been there half an hour the Germans began a sort of bombardment which precedes a coun- ter-attack; but they kept it up for tours. Of the forty-four men, seven were killed and four were wounded, "Then, in the first dusk of early morning, the enemy rushed to the attack. 'A good lot of them; may have been 600." The Anszacs stood up and fought to stop their rush; fought with all the fury of men hard beset. right over us.' They left behind them only seven sound men in addi- tion to" the lieutenant. He was wounded. " 'They halted behind us,' the tale goes on, 'and formed Lp in groups: "In this moment the ' lNeutenan sontrived to send a S.0.8. back for help. In the fight going om behind him the greater numbers prevailed, and the Germans took a considerable pumber of Anzac prisoners. - Then they began to make their way back. "The lieutenant ordered his seven men to Ax bayonets, and followed suit himself with the rifle of one of his dead men. 'If we stay here they are bound to capture us,' he explain- ed, 'and 1 would sooner be a prisoner. The supports cannot he long in coming up; let's go for them.' His seven "talwarts were willing, and at his word of command they leaped forward to attack the hundreds of the enemy, firing their rifles from the bip as th y ran. i once threw up their bands, but others were made of sterner staff and began BA 1 vei) Slows / : recent report by the War Office.
