'''Cheshire Observer 15 January 1944'''
* “''JACKSON- missing since 13th June 1943, now presumed killed in action, Flying Officer Philip Corfield Jackson, RAFVR, husband of Margaret (nee Huxley) and son of Doctor A R Jackson and the late Mrs Jackson of Hoole, Chester.''”
Jackson was navigator on a Type [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_B-25_Mitchell B-25 Mitchell II] (serial FL677) out of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Foulsham RAF Foulsham], Norfolk, which was taking part in a raid on the Schelde shipyard and the Dornier aircraft wing factory at Flushing. His aircraft came under intense fire from Marine Flak Abteilung 810 and crashed into the Westernschelde at 09:17 hrs. The only body recovered was that of the pilot.

* '''"… conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty….in his efforts to get in casualties, repeatedly going forward through enemy barrages…"''' (Edinburgh Gazette March 11<sup>th</sup> 1918).
Following the Armistice A R Jackson continued to serve those wounded in the Great War. On his return to Hoole he became the visiting physician at [https://hoolehistoryheritagesociety.miraheze.org/wiki/Hoole_Hospitals_1914_-_1919#Hoole_Bank_House Hoole Bank] Red Cross Hospital. He is recorded as visiting three times a week from December 1918 to May 1919 when the records closed.
His first paper was published in 1899 (List of the Araneida of Port Erin and District. Proc. Liverp. Biol. Soc., 13, pp.66-68) and his last in 1938 (Notes on Arctic Spiders obtained in 1933-1936. Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., (B) 107 (4), pp.543-551.). Many biographers state that he could have published more under his own name, but that he spent much of his time answering queries from others and helping them. Many textbooks and papers on spiders acknowledge his valuable assistance.
On his death in 1944 he donated his personal collection of around a hundred mid-eighteenth century drinking glasses to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson_Art_Gallery_and_Library Atkinson Museum, Southport] in memory of his son who, as noted above, was killed with the RAF in WW2. This somewhat apt, as prior to "Westcote" being built it was the site of an earlier public house. He also donated prints by Whistler and a Rembrandt.
