The son of the late Rev. Samuel Jamieson at one time the minister of the Valetta Presbyterian Church, Kent Co. Capt. Jamieson was a student of the Chatham Collegiate Institute.
The Canadian forces list of gallantry awards appeared the following:
Captain Rev. Graham Moffatt Jamieson, 35, of Toronto, won the Military Cross (MC), for disregarding his own safety in tending wounded and dead under heavy fire.
The following is submitted by nephew, Mark Wallace MacKay: Graham was in some very challenging conditions in WWII as he served with the Regina Rifles; landing in Courseulles sur Mer, and then progressing on to confront the Hitler Youth detachment, among others Nazis. This battle is well documented here: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/fr/remembrance/memorials/regina-rifles
You can read and see a pic of Graham while fighting with the RR regiment here (see pg 18 of this document): https://scholars.wlu.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1466&context=cmh
Graham returned to Canada after the war, and obtained his doctorate (PhD) from Columbia University in New York. His degree was in religious studies, I can’t recall this specific specialty (divinity? I think). He was married to Rebecca Fraser MacKay around 1942. They did not have any children.
