Further Information
 
Colonel Campbell joined the 46th Foot on 1st May 1840. He embarked with the service companies for the CRimea on the 12th October 1854, and served at the seige of Sebastopol from that date to the conclusion of the war. When employed as Assistant Engineer, he was wounded in the trenches on 28th July 1855. He received the Crimean Medal and clasp, the Turkish medal, the Sardinian War medal, the French decoration of Knight of the Legion of Honour, and the 5th class of the Medjidhe. Colonel Campbell was an officer of distinguished bravery and worth, noted for his cool daring and high professional attainments. His early death in the very prime of life was a loss to the service generally.
