1902 - Lieutenant Auldjo Jamieson died today after having been invalided home earlier in the year.
....Sudden Death of Mr B. Claud Auldjo Jamieson.—Mr B. Claud Auldjo Jamieson, son of the late Councillor Auldjo Jamieson, Edinburgh, was on Monday morning found dead in bed at his residence, Phauhope, near Melrose. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities, Mr Jamieson proceeded to South Africa as an officer in the Imperial Yeomanry, and in the course of an engagement with the Boers his horse was shot under him, and fell on his rider, nearly killing him. In addition to bruises to his body Mr Jamieson sustained severe injury to his head and one of his eyes. On his return home, although considerably improved in health, he still suffered from the effects of his injuries, and complained especially of the injury to his head. Mr Jamieson, who was about thirty years of age, highly respected by all with whom he came in contact, and the news of his sudden death came as a painful surprise.
The Southern Reporter, Thursday 18th September 1902.......His full name was George Robert Claude Auldjo Jamieson, and he seems to have a connection with accountancy. The correct name of his home was Fauhope, near Gattonside, Melrose, and he was buried in Holy Trinity Churchyard, Melrose.
