Campbell Despatches Lieut Lieutenant Staff Tatler
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the determined and resolute gaze of Lieutenant W.N. Campbell, a veteran officer who answered the call to duty during the tumultuous year of 1917 in the midst of the Great War. Campbell, who had previously served on the staff of The Tatler before the conflict, rejoined the military and was posted to Mesopotamia. There, he distinguished himself as an Assistant Adjutant General (AAG), contributing significantly to the military efforts in this critical region. The image showcases Campbell in full military regalia, adorned with the insignia of his rank and various campaign medals. The D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order) medal, awarded for meritorious or distinguished service in operations against the enemy, is prominently displayed on his left chest. The two mentions in despatches, a testament to his exceptional service and leadership, add further luster to his uniform. Campbell's military career before the war was spent on the staff of The Tatler, a prestigious British publication known for its societal commentary and satirical wit. However, the outbreak of war compelled him, like many others in the reserve, to abandon his civilian pursuits and rejoin the military. His service in Mesopotamia, marked by his dedication and valor, led to his recognition with the D.S.O. and the honor of being mentioned in despatches twice. This portrait stands as a poignant reminder of the many officers and soldiers who answered the call to duty during the First World War, leaving their civilian lives behind to serve their country. Campbell's unwavering commitment and bravery are evident in this powerful and evocative image.
