Major Cecil Aylmer Cameron CBE DSO (17 September 1883 – 19 August 1924) was a British Army officer and spymaster and also a central figure of a notable fraud trial of 1911.
On 3 June 1909, he married Ruby Mary Shawe, born in Ireland in 1884, at St George's, Hanover Square.
In 1911 he and his wife were convicted of fraud in Edinburgh and sentenced to three years' imprisonment for attempting to defraud Lloyd's by claiming £6,500 for the theft of Mrs Cameron's pearl necklace, which had not actually been stolen.
Following his release, a petition for a pardon was signed by, among others, five dukes, twenty privy councillors, and 126 generals.
Cameron, aged 40, was found shot dead at Hillsborough Barracks in Sheffield in 1924.
