L/Cpl. Thomas Campbell
British Army 9th (Glasgow) Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Edinburgh
(d.29th September 1918)
Thomas Campbell was born circa 1898/99 in Portobello, Midlothian, Scotland, the only child of Donald Campbell, a policeman, who died in 1899 of appendicitis, and Eliza Elspet nee Garden. Following his father's death, Thomas lived with his widowed mother Eliza and grandmother Jane Garden in the 1901 census. Eliza remarried and was killed in 1902 when she fell from a 4th story window.
Thomas continued to live with his maternal grandmother, working at the GPO in Edinburgh and at some stage enlisted in the 9th Battalion Highland Light Infantry. I believe the enlistment records were lost during WW2. Sadly Thomas was killed in the closing weeks of WW1, dying on the 29th of September 1918 age 20 years. He is buried at Targelle Ravine British Cemetery at Villers-Guislain, France. We inherited his dead man's penny which was left to his uncle, James Smith-Garden; my husband's maternal grandfather. Thomas was my husband's first cousin, 1 x removed.
It is very sad that a whole family, like so many others, was wiped from the earth. All that potential lost. Lest we forget.
