Captain, British Army
Captain James Joseph Bernard Jackman VC was an Irish posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of an enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
He served as an officer in the British Army during World War II. His gallantry in action led to the posthumous bestowal of the United Kingdom's premier military decoration.
His Victoria Cross was eventually placed on permanent loan at his alma mater, Stonyhurst College, by his late sister's family, ensuring his legacy of valor remains remembered for future generations.
