"Three Generations of Soldiers," Inverness Courier, October 27, 1899, p. 5e.   An unnamed correspondent "question[s] whether there is another regiment in the army which could produce a finer record than this of grandfather, father, and sons all following the drum" as the Seaforths. He says that Alexander Cameron, Inverness-shire, served in the Peninsular Campaign; his son, Donald Cameron, served in the Cameron Highlanders for 17 years, then volunteered for the 93rd Highlanders who went to Crimea and was one of Sir Colin Campbell's 'Thin Red Line'; and went with the 93rd to quell the Indian Mutiny. Now, all four of Donald's sons were serving in the Seaforth Highlanders as it embarked to South Africa in October 1899 to fight the Boers. Three of these Camerons currently serving were campaign veterans, and the youngest was embarking on his first.
