The Cameron Highlanders were raised in Jan., 1794, by Lt.-Gen. Sir Alan Cameron, K.C.B. (then Maj. Cameron), who was their first colonel. The officers were mostly selected from the half-pay list, and had served, like their colonel, in the American war. The regt. served during the campaign in Holland, and the mortality was so great that, in 1799, this Scotch regt. had to be again raised. The call for officers and men was nobly responded to by the Clan Cameron:— “And wild and high the Cameron’s gathering rose, The war-note of Lochiel, which Albyn’s hills have heard, And heard, too, have her Saxon foes.” How the “Cameron men” fought at Waterloo is testified to by the number of their killed and wounded in that battle, and it is also recorded that, when all the field officers and captains of this regt. had been disabled, the regt. was led on to victory by Lieut. Cameron, a nephew of Sir Alan Cameron, the col.-in-chf.; but which of the _four_ lieutenants of this name cannot now be traced. On the evening of 18th June, 1815, 9 officers, 21 sergts., 7 drummers and 260 rank and file remained unwounded out of a total of 41 combatant officers, 40 sergts., 11 drummers, and 684 rank and file—the effective strength of the regt. at Quatre Bras.
