The oldest son of the Reverend William Jameson and his wife Georgina Marjorie Gibbon, H G Jameson was born at Dundrum in January 1918. He was educated in England at Monkton Combe School, where his father was head of the junior school.[1] From there he matriculated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[2]
The Second World War began in the same year that Jameson graduated from Cambridge and he was commissioned into the Royal Marines as a temporary second lieutenant in June 1940.[5] He was billeted at Fort Cumberland in Portsmouth and was one of eight marines killed during a German air raid on the fort on 26 August 1940, when a bomb struck a perimeter room in which they were gathered. Jameson was buried at the Royal Naval Cemetery, Haslar.[1] His headstone reads: I will give him the morning star (Revelations 2.28).
