Description
Studio portrait of Captain (later Major) Douglas Dunbar Jamieson, AAMC, attached to the 2nd Light Horse Field Ambulance. In November 1916 he was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for leading the rescue of two wounded men who lay in front of the retreating line at Bir-El-Abd in August 1916. Although shells were bursting around them and the horses rearing, they managed to rescue the two wounded and then picked up another three wounded on the way back to safety.
