A 100-year old Canadian second world war veteran has died one day before he was to return to France for the 80th anniversary of D-day and the Battle of Normandy.
William Cameron’s death on Sunday was announced on Twitter by Canada’s veterans affairs ministry. He had been scheduled to fly to France as part of a Canadian delegation attending ceremonies this week.
“We are saddened by the passing of SWW Veteran, William ‘Bill’ Cameron,” said the post. “Rest easy, Mr Cameron.”
