6 July, 1915; _unm._ Sergt. P. Blent, of the Machine Gun Section
of his Battn., wrote: “Firstly, I must tell you that if any man earned
the V.C. in the war, he did, for the part he took in the attack of
ours on 6 July. He was trying to get his gun into action when he was
wounded, first of all in the shoulder; this did not deter him, for he
still endeavoured to do what he had set out to do, but unfortunately
he was wounded again, this time in the face. He then had to give up
the attempt, and took to his right and opened fire, and it was while
doing this he met his death, for a piece of shrapnel entered the back
of his head, and he died almost instantly. His conduct throughout was
magnificent and he died a real hero.” The two brothers of L.-Corpl.
Jackson are serving in the Army, one of whom, L.-Corpl. A. E. Jackson,
of the 3rd Wiltshire Regt., was wounded at Neuve Chapelle, 12 March,
1915.

when there was any show going on that it did one good to see him and
be near him, and so it must have been to the last;” and his subaltern,
who was two yards from him when he was killed, wrote: “I shall always
appreciate your husband’s memory, not only as my double company
Commander, but as a friend. Your husband was wonderfully cool and calm
in action, much the same as when on parade. He knew that we had little
chance of coming out of the advance alive, but he was cheerful to the
last. His last words to me before breakfast were that he did not fear
death at all, because you and his children were well provided for. That
was about the only time I saw him in what one might call a serious
mood.” He _m._ at Brindle, co. Lancaster, 27 July, 1904, Olivia
