Title: Military Cross Citation

Description: AWARDED THE MILITARY CROSS Lt. George Brown Cameron, A.S.C. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during a raid. He led his company with great dash and determination, and personally attacked and killed a machine-gun crew and captured the gun. He also led a party forward of his objective to an enemy strong point and completely mopped up dug-outs and trench-mortar emplacements between the second and third objectives. His skill and gallantry set a splendid example to all ranks.
