Note N42 :
| Kenneth Rankin Campbell l863-l93l, the youngest son of my grandfather Archibald (1823-1906) was educated at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario. and fearing he might not receive one of the few nominations for a commission in the British Army, ran away from home and signed on before the mast in a sailing ship. The family did not know his whereabouts till he wrote them from England. There, in 1883, he he joined the colors as a private in the Gloucestershire Regiment, was promoted to sargeant and obtained his commission in the The Dragoon Guards in 1886. After serving for some years with the The Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), he went to Africa in 1890 as Adjutant of the Gold Coast (Hausa) Forces. From l89l-1895, he served as Vice Consul and Deputy Commissioner on the Oil Rivers Protectorate and adjoining native territories, under the Consul General and High Commissioner of the Niger Coast Protectorate Sir Claude Macdonald (who later was appointed Minister to Peking and Ambassador to Tokyo). He had a spell during 1893 as Acting Consul General and High Commissioner, and took an active part in the operations against Chief Nana in the Benin River Expedition, during which he was three times mentioned in despatches and received the D.S.O.; also the Africa Medal and Benin River Clasp. He was also awarded the bronze medal of the Royal Humane Society for saving one of the Consular natives from drowning in a river swarming with crocodiles. In 1900 he was attached to the Naval Brigade in the Relief of Peking during the Boxer Rebellion and was a member of General Gaselee's Staff. His former chief Sir Claude Macdonald was British Minister to Peking at the time, beleagered in the Legation Quarter with the small body of diplomats, residents, missionaries and legation guards of all nationalities. Their relief by the International Column from Tientsin, after weeks of siege, came only just in time. In 1910, Kenneth went back to Canada and raised the 26th Canadian Horse, the Stanstead Dragoons of which he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel. Not long after that, he retired from active service; but on the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914, tried to rejoin only to be turned down because of his age - 51. Being a keen yachtsman and member of the Royal Yacht Squadron and possessing a Master's Certificate, he forthwith volunteered his services to the Admiralty who gratefully appointed him Lieut.Commander R.N. in the Yacht Patrol engaged in mine- sweeping in the North Sea and Skagerrak. In 1915 he was sent to Gallipoli as a Commander with the Mediterranean Squadron. In l917-l9, he served again with the Army in France and Italy, being twice mentioned in despatches. After the War, he became for a while Seneschal of Sark in the Channel Islands, finally retiring with his wife and daughter Myrtle to "Brickenden Grange", a ninety-acre estate in Hertfordshire where he died in 1931. Kenneth married in l900 Edith Anne Bannon, born 1880, died 1930 at Brickenden Grange, eldest daughter of Thomas Riley Bannon and his wife Helen. In 1901, Kenneth and his bride visited his aging father at "Thornhill" at the same time as my father, mother Archie and I were staying with them, home from the Far East. Writing home to her mother, Edith said: "It was very exciting for me. The father is delightful and so kind to me, taking me all round and showing me everything; and though he is really an old man, is full of fun and jokes." She wrote sweetly, too, of Mother and Father.
