(79th) Highlanders, 3rd _s._ of the late Donald Cameron, of
Lochiel, Twenty-fourth Chief of Clan Cameron, by his wife, Lady
Margaret, 2nd dau. of Walter Francis Montagu-Douglas Scott, 5th Duke
of Buccleuch; _b._ Achnacarry, 27 July, 1880; educ. Eton and
Sandhurst; gazetted 2nd Lieut. to the 2nd Battn. Cameron Highlanders,
4 Oct. 1899, and promoted Lieut. 30 April, 1901, and Capt. 14 May,
1910; served with them at Gibraltar, Malta, Crete and in South Africa,
where he was for a time in the Mounted Infantry, and was Adjutant of
Lovat’s Scouts Dec. 1907–Feb. 1911, on vacating which appointment he
was posted to the 1st Battn. On the outbreak of war he accompanied his
battn. to France on 12 Aug. 1914, and was killed in action near the
Aisne, 25 Sept. 1914; buried at Bourg-et-Comin. Capt. E. J. Brodie
(Adjutant 1st Camerons) wrote of him: “We were sent to relieve the
Black Watch north of Verneiulle on the 24th. On the 25th we were again
heavily shelled. Capt. Miers was in command of the regt., and at 7
a.m. he got wounded in the right arm, and decided to go to Verneiulle
to get it dressed. He sent a message to Allan Cameron, who was next
senior, to that effect. Before he could get away heavy shell fire again
started, so he delayed going. Allan Cameron, however, came straight
to Headquarters. Just as Allan Cameron got to the trench--or rather
cave--a huge high explosive shell burst on the top and blew it in. The
cave contained headquarters, signallers, stretcher-bearers, etc. Death
to all must have been instantaneous. It took us three nights to get the
bodies out, 31 in all. We could only work in the dark, as the place
was shelled by day. We buried the officers and the Sergt.-Major at
Bourg. Capt. Miers, Allan Cameron, Meiklejohn, Napier Cameron and Dr.
Crockett were the officers killed.” In 1902 Capt. Cameron won the Royal
Humane Society’s certificate for saving a boy’s life at Oban by jumping
over the esplanade into the sea and bringing him out. At the Scottish
Command Rifle Meeting in 1913 he won the Officers’ Aggregate for the
highest number of points and was third in the individual aggregate of
all ranks. He _m._ at Inverness Cathedral, 6 Oct. 1908, Hester
Vere (Aldourie, Inverness), dau. of Col. Edward Grant Fraser-Tytler, of
Aldourie, D.L., and had one son, Angus Ewen, _b._ 20 Jan. 1914.

emigrated to Manitoba in 1880]; _b._ Virden, 22 Aug. 1884; educ.
Public School and Collegiate Institute there, and was for five years a
trooper in the 12th Manitoba Dragoons; volunteered on the outbreak of

in action at Festubert, the previous day: _unm._ He was buried in
the New Cemetery, Choques, France [No. 75, Row B.]. Private Cameron

soldier and sincere Imperialist.

and died 25 April, 1915, from wounds received while in action at St.
Julien; _unm._ Col. R. S. Vandaleur, writing to Mr. Cameron,
said: “I saw and spoke to him not long before he fell, and he was
then leading his men gallantly into the firing line. You will have
heard how our brigade was ordered to attack early in the morning of
25 April; not knowing the ground or the exact position of the enemy
we suffered terribly. We and the Warwicks, supported by the Argyll
and Sutherland Highlanders, were attacking on the left of the road
leading to St. Julien, when we came under the fire of machine guns in
a farm immediately in front of us. Your son’s company was in support,
and the last I saw of him was when he was leading his platoon up on
the right of that farm,” and Capt. the Hon. Eric Campbell wrote: “He
was a very gallant officer, whose loss will be felt very much by us
all. His company commander, Major Campion, told me before I left the
Battn., that he had done extremely well the day he met his death on
25 April. We were carrying out an attack on St. Julien, north-east of
Ypres, about dawn. We came upon the enemy in trenches and occupying
houses sooner than we expected; they inflicted heavy losses on us. Your
son, after behaving with the utmost bravery, was hit, I should think,
about 6 a.m., and died some hours later. We buried him and four other
officers near a farm on the road between Ypres and St. Julien.” Two of
his brothers are now (1916) on active service.

death.” His Capt. said: “He handled his men wonderfully, and would
have been given a commission had he survived the battle,” and the head
master of Blundells: “As I look back upon his school career I feel that
we have lost one of the most sterling of the old pupils whom I remember
in my long experience of 40 years.” He was a good cricketer, and was

Ammunition was urgently required at one of the most exposed trenches.
Volunteers were called for to carry the same, and without the slightest
hesitation your gallant husband came forward, took the case of
ammunition and had just put it down where wanted when he was killed. He
died without any pain. We all--officers and men--mourn with you in your
loss. His conduct was such that I, in my official report to the Officer
Commanding, brought his name to official notice, as in my opinion such
a deed of gallantry deserved recognition.” He played for Oldham in the

no exaggeration to say that he left behind him not mere acquaintances,
but real friends, who mourn his loss more than I can tell you. He
lived always in the same billet with me and the headquarters staff,
and shared all our rough food, delicacies and hardships just as they
came, and for my part I find he has left a blank that will take a long
time to fill. He met his death going up to the front to help a wounded
man. A stretcher-bearer was with him at the time, and as they crossed
an open space they came under the fire of the enemy in a house some
200 yards away, and both were shot dead.” For two years he was joint
secretary for the Edinburgh University Musical Society, was a keen
golfer, and for several years was a member of the Edinburgh Northern

France in Jan. 1915, and was killed in action at Givenchy, 15 June,
1915; _unm._ His company officer, Lieut. R. R. Brown (who was
himself wounded on this occasion) wrote that Campbell was his platoon
sergt. and that he had a very high opinion of him, adding: “During the
attack circumstances were such that I had to leave my own men under
another officer (Lieut. Sims) while I took command of men of another
company, thereby failing to witness the fate of so many of my brave
men. During the fight one of my own men came up to me (I could not say
who it was) and said Sergt. Campbell had just been killed.”
