Captain Cameron 95th Rifles

Captain Cameron 95th Rifles

He joined the 95th in style, raising a company of highlanders with pipers before marching south to join the Experimental Corps of Riflemen in 1800.
In 1808 the 1st/95th were tasked with providing Sir John Moore's Rear-guard during the dreadful retreat to Corunna. Cameron, by now a veteran held his starving troops together, fighting off the French, buying time for the British embarkation.
Cameron's last major commend was of the 1/95 at Waterloo where he was severely wounded.

The sculpture depicts Cameron during the retreat to Corunna in 1806.
