About this ebook


A hero returns home to a country that is riding high on victory and bolstered with pride. But anyone who has experienced war knows it can never be left behind.

Return of the Gallipoli Legend continues the story, told in Hard Jacka, of Albert Jacka, VC– soldier, legend and friend. In this meticulously researched account of a hero and his comrades–in–arms, Michael Lawriwsky explores the human cost of war. Coming home is bittersweet and the memories and experiences of war are never forgotten– irrevocably changing the world view of the soldiers who returned to a nation on the brink of The Great Depression. It is through the eyes of Albert Jacka, VC that we catch a glimpse of how survival away from the trenches becomes an emotional battle on the homefront.

Michael Lawriwsky vividly describes the baptism of fire Australia's young soldiers faced when they were called upon to sacrifice all for King and Country on the battlegrounds of Gallipoli, the Somme, Bullecourt and Polygon Wood. The price paid by the soldiers and their families is one that will echo through generations.

Albert Jacka, VC was a hero whose legacy lives on.

Michael Lawriwsky

Michael Lawriwsky was born in Barmera, South Australia in 1952 of Ukrainian refugees who had fled through the Iron Curtain in 1946-48 and arrived in Australia in 1949. He grew up in Adelaide, attended Woodville High School, Rostrevor College and the University of Adelaide, where he was awarded a PhD in economics. He moved to Melbourne in 1978 and was appointed Professor of Commerce at La Trobe University in 1988. He resigned in the early 1990s to become a director-corporate finance at ANZ Securities and ANZ Investment Bank, and subsequently a director of the Allen Consulting Group. A past part-time Commissioner of the International Air Services Commission, he is an adjunct professor in the School of Business at La Trobe University. Having previously published books on economics and finance, 'Hard Jacka' is his first novel. His interest in Albert Jacka began when he read about him in Les Carlyon's 'Gallipoli' during a flight to Papua New Guinea in 2001.
