David Jamieson (VC)
Major David Auldjo Jamieson VC, CVO (1 October 1920 – 5 May 2001) was an officer of the British Army in the Second World War and an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Background==
David Auldjo Jamieson was born in Westminster, on 1 October 1920, the elder son of Sir Archibald Auldjo Jamieson (KBE MC), Chairman of Vickers Armstrong.
He attended Ladycross School, Seaford, East Sussex and Eton College. In his youth he spent time at the family holiday retreat in Norfolk. He was a volunteer in the Territorial Army unit at Dersingham for the 5th Battalion, Royal Norfolk Regiment, which he joined in May 1939 when the Territorial Army was doubled in size. He was transferred to the 7th Battalion, a 2nd Line duplicate of the 5th, and was subsequently commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant despite a lack of experience. At age 19, he was considered too young for overseas service and did not initially go with the battalion, now part of the 51st (Highland) Division, to join the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) when it went to France in 1940 but followed later. When the majority of the battalion was captured in June 1940 during the Fall of France he was at Rouen and was able to return to Britain. The battalion was reformed in 1941 and he was promoted to a company commander of D Company.
