Military Medal 'On the morning of 6th October 1917, this man on hearing that the R.M.O. had been wounded, went out with a squad of Regimental Stretcher Bearers to ZONNEBEKE CHURCH and brought Captain Morgan back to the Relay Post. The shelling at that time was intense, Private Jackson showed great bravery and devotion to duty in bringing his squad through the village where shells were falling thickly and bricks were flying in all directions. By his courage alone, he kept his men together and got Captain Morgan back along the line to safety.'
