CAMPBELL.-- On 12th November, 1918, at the 3rd Australian General Hospital, Brighton, England, of pneumonia, Private Alexander Fairweather Campbell, of Alderley, aged 25½ years, husband of Mrs. Campbell, Heather street, Wilston.
I longed for the day of returning.
I longed for the clasp of his hand ;
But God has postponed the meeting,
'Twill be in a better land.
Inserted by his sorrowing wife, Mrs. J. Campbell.
