[1]. The heroic Fassifern, great-grandson of John Cameron, 18th of Lochiel, and one of the six children of Ewen Cameron of Inverscadale, on Loch Linnhe, by his first wife, Lucy Campbell, of Balmadine. In early life was articled to a Writer to the Signet at Edinburgh; but when war broke out, in 1793, his military tastes inclined him to forsake the pen for a sword. Obtained a commission in the 26th Cameronians in 1793. His chief services were in the Pa. with above regt., and the honourable augmentation to his family arms, by the Prince Regent, 20th May, 1815, tells the true story of his exploits at “Almaraz” and the “Pass of Maya.” K.T.S. He met his death at Quatre Bras whilst leading the 92nd against a large body of French troops. Never was a commanding officer more universally lamented. He was buried on the 17th June during the height of the storm which raged that day. His grave was dug in a quiet lane by his devoted foster-brother, Ewen McMillan, a private in the 92nd, who had accompanied his master through all his campaigns. By desire of his family, Cameron’s body was aftds. disinterred and removed to Scotland, where it was re-interred in Kilmallie churchyard, where a tall obelisk, with an inscription by Sir Walter Scott, marks his grave. His aged father, Ewen Cameron, was created a bart. in consideration of his gallant son’s services. The title is now extinct.
[2]. Succeeded to the command of the regt. when Cameron was wounded, but was himself soon disabled. C.B. Served in the Pa. and had the gold medal for Orthes. Commanded the regt. until 1819, when he quitted the service.
[3]. Does not appear to have been present at Quatre Bras, but commanded the regt. at Waterloo. C.B. and bt.-lt.-col. 5th son of John Macdonald, of Dalchosine, co. Perth, by Mary, dau. of Robert Menzies, of Glassie, co. Perth. Retired on h. p. 26th Nov., 1818. Living in 1830.
[4]. Succeeded to the command at Quatre Bras when Maj. Mitchell was wounded. Promoted maj. 18th June, 1815. Quitted the service in 1818.
[5]. Bt.-maj. 11th Jan., 1816. Out of the Army List in 1819.
[6]. Maj. in this regt. 21st Jan., 1819. Quitted the service in 1823. Had served in Egypt and the Pa. Aftds. held the appointment of barrack-master, and d. at Horsfield, Bristol, 4th Nov., 1852.
[7]. Killed at Quatre Bras. A pension of £60 per annum was granted to his widow, Susan Grant. The late Gen. Sir Thornton Grant, who distinguished himself in the Crimea with the 49th Regt., was son of the above.
[8]. The obituary notice of this officer in the Scots Magazine describes him as “son of Mr. Little, a farmer at Burnfoot(?).”
