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.”This war is a nightmare that one day I shall wake from and then forget. And if I don`t wake, then you shall never know. I don`t want you ever to know.”No one seems to know where the scruffy tin hat came from - just that it is very old, from some war or other long ago. To young Michael and his family it has its uses today: as a child`s toy, a feeding bowl for the hens, a hanging basket... Then Michael discovers that it belonged to his great-great-grandfather, ”Our Jacko”, who lost his life at Ypres in 1915. As the boy digs deeper, he finds the young soldier`s diary and learns more about his forgotten ancestor - husband, father, poet, actor - who died so tragically young. And it becomes clear exactly how Our Jacko should be commemorated.
