Burial/memorial information
"Captain Campbell was awarded the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an attack upon four lines of enemy defences. He was in command of the leading Squadron and seeing that the leading troops had lost direction owing to their leader and sergeant being wounded, he went forward and rallied them to their objective. This prompt action allowed many of dugouts to be cleared and a number of prisoners to be captured and very largely contributed to the success of the whole operation. London Gazette 38287." British War Medal and Victory Medal.
