(en) Albert Jacka (10 janvier 1893 - 17 janvier 1932) était un soldat australien ayant pris part à la Première Guerre mondiale. Quatrième enfant d'une fratrie de sept, son père est Nathaniel Jacka et sa mère, Britannique, Elizabeth Kettle. Sa famille a déménagé a Wedderburn, dans l'État de Victoria en Australie lorsqu'il avait cinq ans. Après avoir suivi l'école élémentaire locale, il a commencé à travailler avec son père, qui était transporteur. Lorsque la Première Guerre mondiale débuta, il était employé par le service d'État des Forêts de l'État de Victoria at Heatcote, emploi pendant lequel il voyagea le long du fleuve Murray jusqu'à Heatcote en passant par Cohuna, Lake Charm et Koondrook. Son travail impliquait, avec les 19 autres employées du service, la coupe et la plantation d'arbres, ainsi que de l'entretien de zones coupe-feu dans les forêts de son secteur. (fr)
