Bill Jackson

William J. R. Jackson, known as Bill Jackson, was born on 19 October 1915 and is a former Rhodesian international lawn bowler. Jackson won two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games, which in those years was still called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The first was a singles bronze at the 1958 Games in Cardiff, and the second was a pairs bronze at the 1962 Games in Perth. Winning a medal in both a single-player event and a two-player event four years apart shows a bowler who stayed at the top level of Commonwealth competition for a number of years while representing Rhodesia.
