Pte. John Campbell-Bell
British Army 1st Btn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles)
from:Scotland
(d.8th Jul 1917)
John Campbell-Bell fought in the French trenches in 1915 and was wounded. The next we hear about him is in India, where he died in 1917 of malaria. I have a photo of his gravestone at Jubbelpore Cantonment Cemetery and also am in possession of his death penny. He is my great-great-grandfather. He died on Sunday, 8th of July 1917, aged 36. He is buried in Jubbulpore Cantonment Cemetery, located just south of the city of Jubbulpore, which lies about 519 miles southeast of New Delhi.
