### Jerrard E. Forestier

Jack and Jerrard have a strong friendship that dates back to their time in Normandy. Although Jerrard often teases Jack about his Roman Catholic beliefs and Sicilian ancestry, which sometimes leads to Jack being mistaken for being Italian, Jack remains loyal to their friendship. Jack takes pride in his unique heritage and identity, which sets him apart from simply being Italian. However, Jerrard's racism towards African-Americans and Sephardic Jew Jonah, as well as his sexist tendencies, such as mocking Betty Robinett and blaming her for his injury, can cause strain in their relationship. Despite this, Jack remains resilient and fiercely loyal to Jerrard. When Jerrard loses fights to Hazel, Jack is horrified and tries to calm him down. In addition, when Emma Wright insists on staying behind as the men go after Jonah in the snowy weather, Jack tries to take a gun from her, but falls to the ground in the process. Throughout their friendship, Jack defends Jerrard and tries to make amends for his behavior towards others.

### Emma Wright

Jack's relationship with Emma was complex and often fraught with tension. As a male soldier from Canadian army and loyalty to United Kingdom's Army, Jack initially doubted Emma's abilities and questioned the role of women in the military. Emma, a strong and determined agent for United Kingdom Army who joins French resistance, felt humiliated by Jack's views on gender roles and frustrated with being kept away from fighting. Despite their differences, Jack and Emma shared a deep respect for each other's skills and dedication to the resistance.

Through their shared experiences and battles in the resistance, Jack and Emma's relationship evolved into one of mutual respect and support. They fought side by side and worked together to achieve their shared goal of defeating the Nazis. Despite the challenges they faced, their relationship served as a testament to the power of understanding and communication, and the importance of breaking down gender barriers in all aspects of life.

They found common ground in their shared commitment to the goals of D-Company and worked together effectively towards their objectives. Despite their differences, Taylor recognized Jack's strengths and valued his contributions to the group. Overall, while their relationship was never particularly close, Taylor and Jack respected each other as members of the same team.
