234340 Pte. Archibald Campbell British Army 1st Garrison Btn. Royal Irish Regiment from:98 Dundela Street, Strandtown, Belfast, Northern Ireland (d.8th April 1919) My great grandfather, Private Archibald Campbell, of the 1st Garrison Btn. Royal Irish Regiment, service number 5727 was killed in Egypt on 8th April 1919 in what has been described as a, 'native disturbance'. In Egyptian history, this period is known as, 'The Revolution'. The death toll, ran into thousands. He was 47 years old, and left a wife and five children. Many years ago I visited his grave at the Cairo War Memorial Cemetery. Next to his grave, was the grave of Brigadier General John Charles Campbell V C. Killed the 26th Feb. 1942. I put flowers on both graves. I have found it absolutely impossible to find out anything surrounding the circumstances of my great grandfather's death. I have tried endless avenues and found them all to be cul de sacs. Amazingly, Archibald Campbell has one grandchild still alive; possibly two. I'd love to resolve this matter.
