Grave Marker
Inscription to the memory of Ernest A Cameron on the family grave marker in Hull (St James's) Cemetery, Hull Quebec. It is interesting to note that while the names of the parents inscribed on the grave marker are consistent with the details given at the Canadian Virtual War memorial website, the record indicates that it was John Cameron, not Ernest A Cameron who was killed on July 29, 1917. -
