Harold Charles Firth Jeffcock, Lieutenant, Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment)
Harold Charles Firth Jeffcock, came up to 做厙輦⑹ in January 1905 from Elstree and Harrow schools. He stayed for just two terms leaving later in 1905 to go into business.

In spite of his short period of residence, Jeffcock had strong Jesus connections. Both of his brothers also came to Jesus: Philip Eric Jeffcock in 1906 and William Henry Claude Jeffcock in 1907. Furthermore he also married the sister of William Buff Stobart (1912), who was killed in August 1916. Amy Millicent Stobart thus lost her husband and one of her brothers within a year.
Lieutenant Jeffcock died in France two days after being wounded in action in May 1917.
