Educated at Eton, Ward-Jackson served in the 3d Yorkshire Regiment from 1891, as an officer during the Boer War he was twice mentioned in dispatches. Following the war, he transferred to the Yorkshire Hussars and was promoted to the rank of Captain on 21 May 1902. He resigned in 1907, but was again active during the First World War and served with the Yorkshire Hussars in France.
In December 1918 he was elected as a coalition Conservative for Leominster, and held the seat until the 1922 election, when he transferred to the Harrow constituency in London, running as the official Conservative candidate.
During the campaign, Ward-Jackson denounced Mosley"s criticisms of the actions of British forces in Ireland, and accused him of inciting Indian students in Cambridge University to revolt against the British Raj. Mosley sued, winning a retraction as well as his legal costs of £200.
