Pte J Cameron So. Africans

[War13Memorial]

From CWGC & SNWM I believe this to be James Norman Cameron South African Infantry 4th Regt [known as SA Scottish] Service No.17606. . He is recorded as d of d 9/10/18 aged 18 - is this possible ?. I know Canada & Australia have very good websites but can't find a South African one. Anything on the So. Africans would be gratefully received.
