Jackson turned his diary into a book after the war: A Soldier's Diary: South Africa 1899-1901 - [url= https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b58373&seq=9] https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.$b58373&seq=9link . London: Max Goschen 1913. After joining his regiment in Cork and then going with it to Aldershot in December 1899, he sailed on the Assaye in January 1900. I cannot figure out what regiment he served in. He only identifies himself as being a Sergeant in the "7th MI" formed after the fall of Bloemfontein. Any help is much appreciated.

Also if you search for him using the Search facility top right hand corner of the screen you will see he has featured in 7 previous threads and his diary can be found in the Books section (see Main Menu) in PDF format.

That is a big help. Thanks!
