AndrewThornton Posted 16 September , 2021 Share Posted 16 September , 2021 Chum Jack Campbell served with the Royal Army Medical Corps, attached 1st Battalion, The Black Watch in 1914. He is recorded on the roll of Chums who were present at a lunch held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea by the London and South East Area of The Old Contemptibles' Association on 7 July 1988 and was introduced to HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother. There are a number of articles available on the British Newspaper Archive website reporting his meeting the Patron-in-Chief of the Association in 1988.

markokeeffe Posted 6 January , 2023 Share Posted 6 January , 2023 Jack Campbell was a first cousin of my great grandmother. Unfortunately I do not know much about his life. But I have information on his family background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
