Biography

Like several other members of the British shooting team at the 1908 London Olympics, Arthur Jackson was a quartermaster-sergeant-instructor at the Army School of Musketry at Hythe in Kent. Although he competed in the Olympics, Jackson enjoyed his finest year in 1913. Not only did he win that year’s Army Championship but, on the last day of the annual Bisley Meeting, he secured the Winchester Challenge Cup.
