kinsalegreg Posted 30 July , 2010 Share Posted 30 July , 2010 I've come across a reference to a soldier who may be related to me and I'm trying to find out anyhting I can about him. His name was Arthur Jackson and I think he was a Sergeant. I don't know the regiment but he may have come from Liverpool. He did attend public school so it is odd that he seems to have refused a commission. The story is that he was awarded the MM which would accord with the rank. Help very much appreciated.

archangel9 Posted 30 July , 2010 Share Posted 30 July , 2010 A big ask as you no doubt know. There are 495 matches in the MIC's for Arthur Jackson. Narrowed down to the rank of Serjeant 32 - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/search-results.asp?searchtype=browserefine&query=first_name%3darthur|last_name%3djackson|scope%3dserjeant&catid=10&pagenumber=1&querytype=1&mediaarray=* If you know the school he attended a post on Dick Flory's topic "British school registers and rolls of honor lookups offered" http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7900&st=0 might yield a match?
