Did you or a relative serve with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers?

hi everyone just found this forum. my grandad Hamilton Jamieson fought at the Somme with the skins where I believe he lost his leg. He was born in Belfast around 1895 and survived to marry Annie Young. He farmed at Dunalong Bready Strabane until his death around 1958.

thanks maura,how did you get soo much info so quickly. the silver badge i guess he received on his discharge due to his injury.How do i find out what other medals he might have received and when he enlisted. Also like to know if he fought in any other battles.My father who served in ww11 with the 8th army in the desert campaign had a great respect for 'Hammie'. Said he was a 'soldier'.

I am doing some research for a friend whose father was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers 1915-19.  He was Lance Corporal James Steen #19342.  On a small chain with a uniform button and his Fusiliers tag, he had a cross.  On inspection the cross was engraved with what looks like a heart with possibly a crown or flame and a nail piercing it?  I wondered if it was regiment related.  It has words on one side that look like E Poiruys and the date 30 (Mei?) 1886.  He was born in 1896 so it's not his birthday.  Any help would be appreciated.  I will see if this inserts the photos.
Thanks, Keith
