Pfc Jackson was probing enemy lines, operating a machine gun mounted on the rear of a Jeep. His patrol ran into a machine gun blockade. He did not need to expose himself but being new to combat, he was inexperienced and had little chance to learn to protect himself. He was hit and died within a few hours.
