Looking for hometown on Private Robert Cameron, H/3814, December 20, 1944. of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, R.C.I.C., K.I.A., buried GROESBEEK CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY, Netherlands. Veteran Affairs Canada says he is from the U.S.A.

Not sure if any one has already put this research site on or not, but I think it's best to go ahead and put it on, if it is a repeat, I can always delete, or the admins can.
