Private Robert W. Jamison

 

 

Private Jamison enlisted in the North Irish Horse in March or April of 1916 (Service No.2144).  In France he was transferred to C Company of the 9th Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers when the 2nd Regiment North Irish Horse was absorbed into that regiment in September 1917 (Service No.41263). Jamison was initially listed as 'missing' following the German offensive of March-April 1918.

The text of the article accompanying this picture in the Belfast Evening Telegraph reads:

Pte. R. W. JAMISON. Royal Irish Fusiliers (late N.I.H.), Newcastle, Co. Down, wounded. He was a former R.I.C. man at Brickfield Barracks.
