William “Bill” Cameron Obituary, A Royal Canadian Navy Second World War Veteran has died: We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of William “Bill” Cameron, a distinguished Royal Canadian Navy Second World War Veteran. Born in January 1924, Mr.
Cameron’s dedication to his country was evident from a young age. He enlisted at HMCS Discovery in June 1943, and his bravery shone brightly on D-Day as an anti-aircraft gunner onboard HMCS Kitchener, which was part of the flotilla escorting American troops landing in Normandy.
Mr. Cameron’s contributions to the war effort were profound, and he remained a cherished member of the veteran community throughout his life. His commitment to remembrance and honoring those who served was unwavering. He was set to join the Canadian delegation traveling to France this week to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.
His loss is felt deeply by all who knew him, and his legacy of courage and service will continue to inspire future generations. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.
