North Africa (Algeria, Tunesia) *

Aircraft engineering student [gained flying certificate no. 11827 at the London Aeroplane Club in a D.H. Gipsy on 24.04.1934]. Served as a Sergeant ("D" (Machine Gun) Company 15th Bandera's) in the Spanish Army during the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939.

26.10.1939			enlisted at Mill Hill, London
?	-	19.10.1940	either 164th, 165th, 166th, 167th, 168th or 170th Officer Cadet Training Unit
19.10.1940			commissioned, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) [emergency commission]
(1942?)	-	(1943?)	8th Battalion The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (North Africa)
14.04.1945	-	29.04.1945	"B" Patrol, No 1 Demolition Squadron, PPA ("Popski's Private Army") (Italy) [in command after the death of Lt. I.W. McCallum on 23.04.1945; seriously wounded at Dolo 29.04.1945]
(04.1946)			on regimental Unemployed List

Lived in County Lietrim, Ireland, after the war, where he joined Ailtiri na hAiseirghe, the ultra-nationalist movement.

* [Recommendation for the award of a Military Cross to Captain M.A.G. Cadell] On 10 March 1943 this officer was detailed to patrol the ravine 303496 (Hunts Gap) and destroy enemy patrols cutting telephone lines or attacking pack transport supplying forward companies. He took out his patrol at dark and at 0300 hrs brought them in again without having contacted enemy. About dawn 11 March he returned to his task taking only one Non-Commissioned Officer Corporal Williamson to cover the same ground in daylight. At about 0715 hrs they saw a German patrol of six men approaching and laid themselves in ambush. At 200 yds range they fired with their Bren gun and killed two enemy. The other four took cover in a fold in a field of beans and opened fire with a 42mm machine gun and automatics. Captain Cadell and Corporal Williamson replied and then made a quick move left flanking. They then succeeded in killing the German machine gunner and wounding the Sergeant leading the patrol and forced the remaining two to surrender. They brought back three prisoners, a machine gun, two Schmeisser guns, two Luger pistols, maps and personal papers. The courage, skill and determination of this officer provides an excellent example of the qualities required by our patrols in dominating 'no man's land' and retaining the initiative. He has shown similar qualities earlier in the North African operation in destroying by explosives German tanks at Djebel Abiod in November 1942.

* On the 1st December 1944, Capt. J.D. Campbell was ordered to take the last enemy stronghold south of Fiume Uniti, a fortified house named Caserma dei Fiume Uniti. During the night he moved forward commanding a party of six men across marshy country, walking in water breast deep for about six miles. At dawn, cold and tired, he was hidden in a wooden shack approx. 25 yds of completely open ground away from the enemy strong point, here a German dog came in - but a tin of bully was just enough to keep him quiet. After an hour of waiting for a suitable opportunity Capt. Campbell decided to rush the house, which was built on a concrete and high base. In full view of the enemy he led his men up to the barbed wire fence at the double, took the only passage to the house, broke the door in, and before the enemy could take any action captured, practically single-handed, 11 enemy soldiers and all their equipment, including 3 LMGs. Then keeping cool after his success he managed to evacuate his 11 prisoners without attracting the attention of the enemy in another house 350 yds away - he then occupied the house and took defensive measures. During the evening of the same day, still with the same little force, very tired by now, he ambushed two unaware enemy relieve parties, captured four more prisoners, and killed six more of the enemy including two officers. This feat of arms is one of the best examples of courage and leadership and self control of an officer. For his brother officers and his men such an action is always and will be a daring and difficult aim to reach.
** 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 amogst 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.

* On the 6th April, 1943, in the attack upon the Wadi Akarit position, the task of breaking through the enemy minefield and anti-tank ditch to the East of the Roumana feature and of forming the initial bridgehead for a Brigade of the 51st Highland Division was allotted to the Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell. The attack had to form up in complete darkness and had to traverse the main offshoot of the Wadi Akarit at an angle to the line of advance. In spite of heavy machine gun and shell fire in the early stages of the attack, Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell successfully accomplished this difficult operation, captured at least 600 prisoners and led his Battalion to its objective, having to cross an unswept portion of the enemy minefield in doing so. Later, upon reaching his objective he found that a gap which had been blown by the Royal Engineers in the anti-tank ditch did not correspond with the vehicle lane which had been cleared in the minefield. Realising the vital necessity of quickly establishing a gap for the passage of anti-tank guns, he took personal charge of this operation. It was now broad daylight and, under very heavy machine-gun fire and shell fire, he succeeded in making a personal reconnaissance and in conducting operations which led to the establishing of a vehicle gap. Throughout the day Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell held his position with his Battalion in the face of extremely heavy and constant shell fire, which the enemy was able to bring to bear by direct observation. About 1630 hours determined enemy counter-attacks began to develop, accompanied by tanks. In this phase of the fighting Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell's personality dominated the battle field by a display of valour and utter disregard for personal safety, which could not have been excelled. Realising that it was imperative for the future success of the Army plan to hold the bridgehead his Battalion had captured, he inspired his men by his presence in the forefront of the battle, cheering them on and rallying them as he moved to those points where the fighting was heaviest. When his left forward company was forced to give ground he went forward alone, into a hail of fire and personally reorganised their position, remaining with the company until the attack at this point was held. As reinforcements arrived upon the scene he was seen standing in the open directing the fight under close range fire of enemy infantry and he continued to do so although already painfully wounded in the neck by shell fire. It was not until the battle died down that he allowed his wound to be dressed. Even then, although in great pain, he refused to be evacuated, remaining with his Battalion and continuing to inspire them by his presence on the field. Darkness fell with the Argylls still holding their positions, though many of its officers and men had become casualties. There is no doubt that but for Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell's determination, splendid example of courage and disregard of pain, the bridgehead would have been lost. This officer's gallantry and magnificent leadership when his now tired men were charging the enemy with the bayonet and were fighting them at hand grenade range, are worthy of the highest honour, and can seldom have been surpassed in the long history of the Highland Brigade.
