A BLIND MISSIONARY IN BURMA
News of the death of Father H. W. Jackson, the blind founder of the Mission of the Blind of Burma, has been received at his home at Greenwich. Father Jackson, who was born in Greenwich, was the son of Mr. R. S. Jackson, former M.P. for Greenwich. He had been blind since the age of three. He was educated at Norwood College for the Blind and Wadham College, Oxford, and was afterwards a curate at Ilford. He went to Burma in 1917 to help his brother-in-law, the Rev. W. C. B. Purser, with a blind school at Kemmendine, near Rangoon. Father Jackson beat out the matrices for the first Burmese books in braille on old petrol-tins. He adopted Burmese dress and food and method of living. He was awarded the Kaisar-i-Hind Medal in 1930.
