Lieutenant (Lt) Christopher Cameron was selected to receive one of Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Bristol’s certificates for meritorious service. The award was presented at a ceremony in the Merchant Venturers’ Hall in Clifton.
A former Gordon Highlander, Lt Cameron joined Bristol URNU as a training officer in 1995. Over this period, he has mentored over 350 URNU students, teaching them skills such as navigation and leadership as well as accompanying them on several deployments around the UK and Europe.
The certificate for meritorious service rewards long service of high quality and periods of intense and exceptional effort in support of units. Candidates for the award must be seen, amongst their peers and within the communities in which they serve and live, to show outstanding examples of leadership, commitment and enduring performance in post.
Lt Lorna Wilson, his Commanding Officer, said: ‘Lt Cameron is extremely dedicated, whilst leading by example in motivating and developing the students. He is thoroughly deserving of this award.’
