WEDDERBURN College students grew their knowledge of the town’s World War One hero Albert Jacka when author Peter FitzSimons spoke about his latest book last Wednesday.
Students, including junior captain Luke Martin who brought the school’s replica set of medals including the Victoria Cross, sat mesmerized by the author sharing his stories of life, travel as well as Jacka who is the subject of the latest book by FitzSimons.
Local historian Geoff Arnott was also among more than 60 people. Geoff presented Fitz-Simons with copies of his recent books on Wedderburn and its soldiers.
