Military Medal 'In the advance of 9th August 1918 near RAINECOURT east of AMIENS, when the troops on the left failed to advance and cover the flank, heavy Machine Gun fire was opened on the flank of his Company in direct enfilade. Sergeant CAMERON took a Lewis Gun section forward, engaged and dispersed the enemy post, thus enabling his Company to advance. Throughout the advance he showed absolute disregard of danger and set a fine example to his platoon.'
