Jacka's Mob - A Narrative of the Great War Edgar John Rule | 14th Battalion AIF | 1999 Military Melbourne Edition An excellent Australian military history and an important account of one of the AIF's most famous First World War battalions. Jacka's Mob is Edgar John Rule's firsthand narrative of his service with the 14th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, the battalion forever associated with legendary Australian soldier Albert Jacka VC, MC & Bar. Rule served with the 14th Battalion at Gallipoli and on the Western Front, and his account captures the experiences of the ordinary Australian soldiers—their battles, hardships, humour, friendships and losses.
