Lt.Col Donald Dickson Farmer (1877-1956), Queen's Cameron Highlanders. The Cameron Highlanders, The Depot. One of four VC winners re-copied for a composite picture in January 1929. He joined the Cameron Highlanders in March 1892, and served with the 1st Battalion in the Sudan Campaign, 1898, and was present at the battles of Atbara and Khartoum. Farmer was a sergeant during the Second Boer War when he won the VC on 13th December 1900 at Nooitgedacht, South Africa. His citation reads: During the attack on General Clements Camp at Nooitgedacht, on the 13th December, 1900, Lieutenant Sandilands, Cameron Highlanders, with fifteen men, went to the assistance of a picquet which was heavily engaged, most of the men having been killed or wounded. The enemy, who were hidden by trees, opened fire on the party at a range of about 20 yards, killing two and wounding five, including Lieutenant Sandilands. Sergeant Farmer at once went to the Officer, who was perfectly helpless, and carried him away under a very heavy and close fire to a place of comparative safety, after which he returned to the firing line and was eventually taken prisoner. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Regimental Museum of Queen's Own Highlanders, Fort George.

Corporal James Dalgleish Pollock (1890-1958). The Cameron Highlanders, The Depot. One of four VC winners re-copied for a composite picture in January 1929. Pollock was 25 years old, and a corporal in the The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC: On 27th September 1915 near the Hohenzollern Redoubt, France, at about noon the enemy's bombers in superior numbers were successfully working up Little Willie Trench towards the Redoubt. Corporal Pollock, after obtaining permission, got out of the trench alone and walked along the top edge with complete disregard for danger, and compelled the enemy bombers to retire by bombing them from above. He was under heavy machine-gun fire the whole time, but contrived to hold up the progress of the Germans for an hour before he was at length wounded. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Regimental Museum of Queen's Own Highlanders, Fort George.

Private Ross Tollerton, Ist Battalion, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders (1890-1931). The Cameron Highlanders, The Depot. One of four VC winners re-copied for a composite picture in January 1929. Tollerton was 24 years old when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC: On 14th September 1914 at the First Battle of the Aisne, Private Tollerton carried a wounded officer (Lieutenant J.S.M. Matheson), under heavy fire, as far as he was able, into a place of greater safety. Then, although he himself was wounded in the head and hand, he struggled back to the firing line where he remained until his battalion retired. He then returned to the wounded officer and stayed with him for three days until they were both rescued. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Regimental Museum of Queen's Own Highlanders, Fort George.

Major Angus Falconer Douglas-Hamilton (1863-1915). The Cameron Highlanders, The Depot. One of four VC winners copied for a composite picture in January 1929. Commissioned into the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders in 1884, he served in the Sudan, Gibraltar, Malta, South Africa, North China, and India, attaining the rank of major by 1901. He retired in 1912, whilst remaining on the reserve list. In 1914 he was recalled and promoted to a temporary Lieutenant-Colonelcy in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders Reserve of Officers, commanding the 6th Battalion. He was awarded the VC for the following action: On 25th September 1915 during operations on Hill 70 at the Battle of Loos, Douglas-Hamilton, when the battalions on his right and left had retired, rallied his own battalion again and again and led his men forward four times. The last time he led all that remained, about 50 men, in a most gallant manner, and was killed at their head. It was due to his bravery, and splendid leadership that the line at this point was able to check the enemy's advance. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Highlanders' Museum in Fort George. He is also depicted in the oil painting by Joseph Gray of the 6th Battalion The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders at the Battle of Loos, 1915, which hangs in the museum.
