Early life
Born in the town of Nile near Launceston, Tasmania, he was educated at Launceston Grammar School and then attended the University of Edinburgh before becoming a pastoralist and professional soldier. He served in Afghanistan 1878–1880 and South Africa during the Boer War 1899–1900, rising to position of Colonel in the AIF.[1] He was later aide-de-camp to the Governor-General and warden of Evandale. He was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in 1901 for his service with the Tasmanian Mounted Infantry during the Boer War.[2]
Politics
In 1901 he was elected to the Australian Senate as a Protectionist Senator for Tasmania. (His brother, Norman Cameron, was elected to the House of Representatives at the same election as a Free Trader.) He was defeated in 1903 but was re-elected as an Anti-Socialist in 1906.[3]
He was defeated again (as a Liberal) in 1913, and despite several attempts to re-enter the Senate, including a number as an independent, his political career was over. He became a pastoralist, and served in World War I 1914–1918.[4]
Personal life
Cameron died in 1941.[4]
One of his sons, Lt. Colonel Donald Cameron (1888–1979), was awarded the MC and OBE.[5]
