Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Charles Sargeant Jagger was born in Yorkshire on 17 December 1885. At the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to Messrs. Mappin and Webb of Sheffield to learn silver engraving. He studied concurrently at the Sheffield School of Art, winning a scholarship in 1903 to study sculpture at the Royal College of Art in London. Joining the Artists' Rifles on the outbreak of the First World War, Jagger was commissioned in the Worcestershire Regiment, serving in Gallipoli and on the Western Front. He was three times wounded and won the Military Cross. On demobilization, he began work as a sculptor in London, executing several war memorials. His sculptures include a statue of Ernest Henry Shackleton, commissioned for the Royal Geographical Society building. He died in London on 16 November 1934.
