M.C. London Gazette 20.10.1916 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during operations. He assisted the Medical Officer in getting the wounded from the front trench, and as Stretcher Bearers were short, he himself carried a wounded man half a mile into safety through a heavy barrage'.

The Reverend Kenneth Curteis Jackson, M.C., who completed his education at Keble College, Oxford, took Holy Orders in 1908 and was appointed as an Ordained Deacon to Hurstpierpoint. Further pre-War appointments included Binfield, Berkshire and Mells, Somerset, at which latter place he acted as Curate from 1912. A Territorial Chaplain 4th Class, with seniority from November 1912, he joined the 4th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry, but it appears that he won his M.C. with another unit, very probably in the Somme Offensive of July 1916. Relinquishing his post sometime in the following year, he returned home to take up appointment as Vicar of Norton St. Philip, near Bath and was latterly Prebendary of Wiveliscombe in the Cathedral Church at Wells and Rural Dean of Frome.
