Wow. What a story.

With a name like Donald Cameron it's lucky you know his service number.

I'm not sure if explaining to the MOD with the reason for the search and providing links to the article will help?  It probably won't do any harm.  :-\

Quote from that newspaper article:

'We know they loved each other, but apart from his regiment, where he was from and the year he was born, we have no other information'

so what year was it, as we have been told 1908 - 1911?

To cast a dampener on this, since he was around 30 years of age it's quite possible he was already married back home??
