"Personal News," Inverness Courier, Aug. 14, 1908, p. 5b.   "Colonel Aylmer Spicer Cameron, V.C., C.B., a veteran of the Crimean and Mutiny campaigns, celebrated his 75th birthday on Wednesday, the gallant soldier having been born on August 12, 1833. It was with the Central India Field Force, under Sir Hugh Rose, afterwards Lord Strathnairn, that he gained his Cross by a notable act of bravery, at Kotah, March 30, 1858. Heading a small party of the 72nd Regiment, he attacked and stormed a loopholed building strongly held by rebels, was completely successful in capturing it, but emerged desperately wounded, the greater part of a hand having been cut off by a stroke from a tulwar or native sword, besides being twice run through by bayonets. He afterwards commanded the 2nd King's Own Scottish Borderers, and filled various important Staff appointments in India and at home, including that of Commandant at Sandhurst, where fifty-six years before he had been a cadet."
