The news of the sudden decease of the above named gentleman, who was a mathematical master at the “Shop” for a period of more than a quarter of a century, will be received with feelings of profound regret by many officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers.

Mr. Jackson left evening study (7.15) on the 17th October in his usual health, but was picked up unconscious just outside the West Lodge at 7.30 p.m., and conveyed to the Plumstead Infirmary, where he died the morning after without having regained consciousness.

Nothing was known of the sad occurrence in the “Shop” until after his death. So passed away one who was universally respected and esteemed, and who was held in great regard by all who knew him, both from his refined and gentle character and high intellectual attainments.
