On 1 May 1917, a choir stall at St. Albans Cathedral was dedicated to the memory of Lance Corporal Hugh Charles Cameron, who had died in Europe while serving in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. The dedication was conducted by His Grace George Thorneloe, Archbishop of Algoma, who was assisted by the Bishop of Toronto.
Hugh was born on 9 August 1893, son of Charles Clifton and Elizabeth Caroline Cameron in Kincardine, Ontario. He moved to Toronto with his family and was a salesman when he enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 22 September 1914. Cameron became a lance-corporal in the 3rd Battalion machine gun unit. He was reported killed in action on 23 April 1915 at Ypres.
