I believe it was taken on their return from the Palestine campaign I don't know where the photo was taken. It is a formal picture of the three brothers in military uniform Kenneth Cameron was my paternal grandfather. My mother Audrey Trevillian (nee Cameron), who died in 1998 aged 77, had the photograph with some of her dad Kenneth's other war memorabilia, his pay book and some casual photographs taken in front of the pyramids I'm happy to donate a copy of the photo to the Australian War Memorial. How would I go about this? With thanks Kay Adams Hello Robyn and Geoff

I have been searching for LC Donald Cameron's (12thALH)war records without success untill now.He was my g'fathers brother. His story is v assignedery interesting & is still unfolding.I have 2 unconfirmed stories-you may be able to help me. 1.The Scone Advocate of 13.10.1950 reporting on the death of Don, has a report that during the Boer War, Don was the Aust officer assigned to capture Field Marshall Smuts. He did not succeed. What a story it could be! 2.There is a family story that Don was involved in the court marshall of Lawrence after the war.I can find no evidence of a court marshall. Perhaps it was some sort of military enquiry into Lawrence's activities with the Arabs. Both stories seem doubtful to me. Geoff Harrison Thank you Robyn for this topic.
