JACKSON P C: Difference between revisions
→His father
Line 29:
'''Observer 25 March 1944''' carries the Obituary of Dr A R Jackson, which among other details tells us “''Dr Jackson began his practice in Hoole before the last War, in which he served with distinction as a Captain in the RAMC, attached to the Seaforth Highlanders, and was awarded the Military Cross.''”
His Obituary in Nature 153, page 613 (1944) reads:
* '''"WITH the death of Dr. A. Randall Jackson at his home in Chester on March 18 we lose our leading British systematic arachnologist. Despite a busy medical practice, he always found time to provide unstinted help to numerous correspondents in the identification of their collections of British and Arctic spiders, phalangids and chelonethids. This flair for diagnosis has never been surpassed. It enabled him both to straighten out the synonymic muddles created by other workers and also to add many species to the British list. Despite the constant pleadings of his friends, he published comparatively few papers and, as these were often in obscure journals, the excellence of his work never gained the wide recognition it deserved."'''
