Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of Wilson and Charlotte CAMERON, High Park, Kilmore, Victoria
Amongst those who fell in the Dardanelles -and they are unfortunately too numerous- is Sergeant-Major Colin Henry Cameron, the notice of whose death appears elsewhere. The deceased officer, who was only 23 years of age, was physically a fine type of man, whilst those who knew him best speak of him in most affectionate terms as a charming personality. He was the second son of Mr Wilson Cameron, of Heidelberg, and had his home at High Park, Kilmore, for some time prior to his departure for the front.
