CAMERON, ALLAN GEORGE, Capt., 1st Battn. Queen’s Own Cameron (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.

On the outbreak of war was attached to the 2nd Battn., 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.

He died without any pain. We all—officers and men—mourn with you in your loss.

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.”
