On this day, 22 June 2013, Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of his country and his mates.
A Special Forces Commando with the 2nd Commando Regiment, Cameron was on his final tour of duty in Afghanistan. It was his 4th deployment to the region, and his 7th operational tour overall.
On 22 June 2013 his platoon was tasked with clearing a Taliban stronghold in Uruzgan Province. Under intense and sustained enemy fire, Cameron led from the front to relieve pressure on another team under attack.
In the chaos of close quarters combat, he was mortally wounded while drawing fire away from his team. It was a final act of selflessness and courage that saved lives, and cost him his own.
In 2014, Cameron was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, the 100th VC Australia's history, and only the 4th awarded since the Vietnam War. He had previously received the Medal for Gallantry in 2007 for actions in the Chora Valley.
Cameron was described by his mates as "relentless in the fight," not just physically tough, but utterly dependable when it counted. One of his fellow commandos said "Cam was the guy you wanted on your left or right every time. No question."
Not forgotten.
