CORPORAL CAMERON BAIRD AWARDED VC:
Australia’s highest military honour – the Victoria Cross for Australia – will be awarded posthumously to the late Corporal Cameron Stewart Baird MG.
On 22 June 2013 Corporal Baird displayed conspicuous valour leading to the ultimate sacrifice in close combat with a determined enemy as a Commando Team Leader in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan.
He repeatedly drew enemy fire away from his team members and charged enemy positions under heavy fire. His actions enabled the enemy to be neutralised and his team to be kept safe.
This award is in recognition of his most conspicuous acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self-sacrifice.
Corporal Baird’s Victoria Cross for Australia will be presented to his parents – Doug and Kaye Baird – at a ceremony at Government House next Tuesday by Governor-General Quentin Bryce.
Corporal Baird will be Australia’s 100th Victoria Cross holder.

Just picked it up on the ABC, Rest easy digger.
Would have liked to see him receive this one instead of his Dad. We and the Commando Regiment have been cheated a living hero.
Rest in Peace Cameron.
