Hi all</p>
For an interesting example of the politics of the VC, see this article on Albert Jacka, one of Australia's most famous WWI soldiers.</p>

Personally I think he should have been awarded at least one bar to his VC. It's interesting because the article seems to reinforce the old British views on colonials which revisionists have put under attack lately.</p>
