Born in Canada on 18 June 1888 and educated at the University of Manitoba, he came to England in 1913 and continued his medical studies at the London, King's College, and Charing Cross Hospitals. He served in the RAMC during the war of 1914-18, and afterwards, having served as chief assistant and registrar to the Obstetrical and Gynaecological Department of St Barthlomew's Hospital, he was appointed to the staff of the Royal Waterloo Hospital as gynaecological surgeon. He was also for a time attached to Rochford Hospital, Essex. In 1954 Cameron served on the committee of management of the BMA's Empire Medical Advisory Bureau. Cameron specialised in tying unusual knots and one, which was called the "South American Joe", is still in use today. He died on 13 October 1963 aged 75, survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
