Walter Reginald Lloyd Cameron

Trooper · NZ #17605

What this roll records

The prefix NZ has been added to his service number, on the authority of the Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph record already linked on this card — the Museum holds him as a New Zealand service person. The digits are unchanged. This roll formerly left the number unmarked, which made it look like a British number to anyone reading the field rather than the card.

Date of birth 22 June 1919, per AWMM Online Cenotaph (contributed by researcher Lorraine Mona, 30 Sep 2025, citing Find a Grave memorial 175810474). A memorial plaque records him as W.R.L. Cameron. Source: Auckland War Memorial Museum Online Cenotaph / Find a Grave.

Died 21 December 1977. His memorial plaque reads: W.R.L. Cameron, 2nd NZEF, L/Cpl, Provost Corps — Died 21.12.1977 (he later served with the NZ Provost Corps). Source: memorial plaque / Find a Grave.
