** On 23rd April 1945 at Massa Fiscaglia (Italy) Capt. Campbell got the information that 40 Germans were defending a farm. The information emphasized that they were German troops and well dug-in in front of the house, and that they had several MGs and Panzerfaust. Judging that the risk was too big for a frontal attack the position was approached with 2 armed jeeps only. In bright daylight and in full view of the enemy two jeeps charged down the road, surprised the enemy by his devastating fire and his daring, overshot the enemy's first pit, found himself and his vehicle in and amongst the enemies, killed 8, wounded 10 and captured the remainder. On the 29th at Vigonovo (Italy) Capt. Campbell saw through his glasses a German 88mm gun firing on Padua, he decided to attack it, coming into the village by a side road, he charged the gun with his guns blazing away, captured it intact with complete crew, predictor, ammunition and three trucks loads of petrol and supplies.

Very late one night, after leaving a meeting, he borrowed a despatch-rider's motor-bike to get home, instead of waiting for a Staff car. He hit a tank trap in the road. Some hours later, a passing lorry stopped. His body and the bike were thrown into the back, and he was taken to the mortuary. Next morning they found he was still alive, so he was transferred to hospital, where he lay in a coma for six months, before making a full recovery. |

* For most conspicuous bravery on November 6, 1918 at Pont-sur-Sombre, Major Cloutman, after reconnoitring the river crossing found the Quantes Bridge almost intact, but prepared for demolition. Leaving his party under cover he went forward alone, swam across the river and having cut 'leads' from the charges, returned the same way, despite the fact that the bridge and all approached thereto were swept by enemy shells and machine gun fire at close range. Although the bridge was blown up later in the day by other means, the abutments remained intact.
** For conspicuous gallantly and devotion to duty at Banteux on the morning of 30th September, 1918, when he made a personal reconnaissance under heavy machine-gun fire to ascertain the possibilities of bridging the Canal de L'Escaut.
