Major Charles Lionel Atkins Ward-Jackson (1869 – 28 April 1930) was an early 20th century British Conservative Party Member of Parliament.
He relinquished his commission in the Imperial Yeomanry in late August 1901, and was granted the honorary rank of captain in the army.
[5] He resigned from the British Army in 1907 with the intention of entering the House of Commons as a Member of Parliament, but having failed to be elected after contesting Manchester South as a Unionist in 1910 General Election, he rejoined the army in 1914 on the outbreak of World War I, and served with the Yorkshire Hussars in France, and as a General Staff Officer.
[7] The former Conservative Member of Parliament, Sir Oswald Mosley, Bt., ran as an Independent, defeating Ward-Jackson for the seat.
During the campaign, Ward-Jackson denounced Mosley's criticisms of the actions of British forces in Ireland policing against the paramilitary activities of Republican revolutionaries, and also accused him of inciting Indian students in Cambridge University to rebel against the existence of the British Raj.
