He earns the nickname "Mad Jack" among his comrades.
* FriendlyEnemy: The British and Germans shout friendly banter at each other across no-man's land, and in between fighting use their machine-guns to rap out the melodies of songs together. After an unsuccessful assault by the British, the Germans also allow their enemies ample time to collect their dead and wounded, and fire off warning shots to let them know their time is up. Graves reports that ill-will towards the Germans themselves is virtually non-existent in his battallion.
