Private Lindsay Jamieson

 

Lindsay Jamieson was born on 12 April 1899 at 3 Abercorn Place, Londonderry, the fifth of six children of tailor's cutter Alexander Jamieson and his wife Margretta (née Boak). Soon after, the family moved to Belfast, where his mother died when Lindsay was just nine years old. By the time of the 1911 Census he was living at 12 Vernon Street, Belfast, with his father and three of his four surviving siblings. They later lived at 441 Lisburn Road.

Jamieson enlisted in the North Irish Horse at some point during the war – probably in 1917 or 1918 given his age. He would have trained at the regiment's reserve camp at Antrim before being demobilised in 1919.

On 21 January 1919 he married Jean Beattie in the Great Victoria Street Presbyterian Church in Belfast. The couple emigrated to Canada in May 1921.
