Age 34. Derry War Memorial He joined up on the outbreak of the war and went to France with the Ulster Division in September 1915. He was awarded a Military Medal and Ulster Division Certificate for great gallantry and devotion to Page 1 March 22 duty on July 1, 1916, in the Thiepval sector. On his platoon officer being wounded, on that occasion, he took charge of the platoon, and, although wounded in the lung, did most excellent work until the battalion was relieved. He was awarded a Bar to the Military Medal for gallantry in reorganising his platoon and repelling an attack during the battle of Messines on June 7, 1917. He took part in the fighting of the spring of 1918, and was last seen leading his platoon when the Germans then broke through the British lines. He was afterwards reported to have been killed in action during that battle. At the time of his death, his brother, Sergeant William Jackson, Derry Volunteers, was still on active service. Another brother, Private Charles Jackson, of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, was wounded at the Dardanelles in 1915.

    Southern Rhodesia’s commitment to the First World War The publications below were used as sources in order to compile for the first time a definitive record of the number of Southern Rhodesians who served during WWI. Prior to this there has been no single definitive list, as these various sources are generally regiment or race specific. Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 6115 Grand Total: 8815 A rounded figure of 9,000 would be reasonable to quote. Over 800 Rhodesians of all races lost their lives on operational service. These figures were compiled from the following sources: McLaughlin, P. Ragtime Soldiers, (Books of Zimbabwe, 1980): 1st Rhodesia Regiment: 500 2nd Rhodesia Regiment: 1038 African Scouts, Drivers att. 2RR: 30 1st & 2nd Rhodesia Native Regiment : 2360 A&B British South Africa Police Service Companies (known as Southern Rhodesia or Murray's Column) 100 [this is too low] Total blacks during WWI 2700 Total whites during WWI 5716 Grand Total: 8416 Capell, Lt-Col.

  • Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry
    THE HISTORY OF E (LOTHIANS AND BORDER YEOMANRY) SQUADRON, THE SCOTTISH AND NORTH IRISH YEOMANRY The full title of E Squadron is E (Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, The Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry. This title reflects the complicated history of the Sqn. This brief history is intended give an overview of the many tasks that this Sqn has been asked to do over the years. The other Sqns in The SNIY have equally varied histories and have had to prove just as adaptable. The Sqns of the SNIY are:- A (Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick’s Own) Yeomanry) Squadron, based in Ayr. B (North Irish Horse) Squadron, based in Belfast. C (Fife & Forfar Yeomanry/Scottish Horse) Squadron, based in Cupar, Fife. E (Lothians and Border Yeomanry) Squadron, based in Edinburgh. Regimental Headquarters is co-located with E Sqn at Redford Infantry Barracks in Edinburgh. E Sqn’s battle honours are recorded as in the photograph of the Regimental Standard, held in the HQ, Younger House. The Sqn’s predecessors most notably served in the Boer War and the First and Second World Wars. A memorial to the Lothians and Borders men who fell in the Boer War is located outside Dunbar Parish Church in East Lothian (in which the Regimental Standard is laid up); Dunbar is regarded as the historical home of the Sqn, having been home to the L&BH/Y through the late 19th and the early 20th Centuries. Today, this connection and that with the county town of East Lothian, is recognised through the naming of ‘Dunbar’ and ‘Haddington’ Troops and the SNIY ACF detachments.
