* '''"… 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.
