John Campbell was a career soldier who was formerly in the Wiltshire Regiment despite being a Liverpudlian from a big family. He served in Ireland and India and pension records indicate he was a bit of a lad! He came out of the military approx 1911 or 1912 but was back in 1915 and posted to France that year now in the 2/ Border Regt. He was killed attacking Festubert in France in May 1915 but his body was never found...Possibly killed by friendly fire in the confusion of the attack.
