'For bravery and devotion to duty on August 24th during the attack on Bapaume. Corporal Cameron was NCO in charge of a section of two guns of a Light Trench Mortar Battery. The teams had to advance over very difficult ground, which was subjected to a heavy shell and machine-gun barrage. Corporal Cameron succeeded in keeping his men together until one of the gun teams was blown out. He then organised the remnants of a carrying party and made excellent use of the mortar and ammunition remaining at his disposal. Later during the withdrawal from the forward positions he showed great coolness and leadership and was in constant touch with the Infantry. Throughout the operation his courageous and decisive action was an inspiring example to his men.'
