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.
