The post nominals are needed Albert was not only awarded the VC and MC but the post nominals too we must respect that as his title.
I always assumed that 'Jacka' was some sort of Eastern European surname but in fact it orginates in
Cornwall, a Celtic province that is counted by some people as part of England but by others as a country in its own right. I was going to put into the article, after the mention of his parent's names, "The family was of Cornish descent" but I am not sure whether this fact is really important enough for inclusion (and I am not even Australian), so I will leave others to judge. On the one hand, I doubt if I am the only one to think that the name 'Jacka' looks like it is Polish or Czech or something and make a false assumption about Albert's family background. On the other hand, does it really matter where a True Blue Aussie's family came from?
Anyway, here are some sites confirming that 'Jacka' is a Cornish surname:

http://www.family-crests.com/family-crest-coat-of-arms/surnames-7-7/cornish-surnames.html
And there seem to be quite a few more.

Let's build on this article. Sounds like he deserved more than one VC - not to take anything away from Chavasse's (dual VC winner) heroic deeds in WW1. Wallie ( talk) 18:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
