Description
A deeply personal and tender story of war, peace and those who are left behind. One hundred years after the war to end all wars, Jacko's descendants discover his notebook and the untold stories tucked in its pages.
The discovery of an old tin hat sparks a journey into the past for young Michael and his family. As they dig deeper, they uncover the story of their great-great-grandfather "Our Jacko", who lost his life at Ypres in 1915.
Through the diary of this forgotten soldier, husband, father, poet, actor - who died so tragically young - we learn how Our Jacko should be commemorated. A poignant and powerful story that sheds light on a piece of history often overlooked.
