"On Saturday last, information was received that Lance-Corporal Peter Cameron, Royal Scots Fusiliers, son of Mr. Donald Cameron, Mosswell, Prestwick, and grandson of Mr. & Mrs. Peter Cameron, Post Office, Blacklunans, has been killed in France. He was carrying sandbags to the Engineers when he was shot by a sniper. Lance-Corporal Cameron, who was only 18 years of age, and joined Kitchener's Army last autumn, had been about four months at the Front. He resided a good deal with his grandparents at Blacklunans, and was well known in the Glen, where he was a great favourite."
