Donald Campbell, 30 Keith Street, Stornoway

Stornoway Gazette, 25 September 1942
His many friends throughout the island will be sorry to learn that Stoker Donald Campbell, Royal Australian Navy, is reported lost at sea. This sad news has been received by his mother, Mrs Campbell, 30 Keith Street, Stornoway. Donald emigrated to Australia 21 years ago, at the early age of 18, and shortly afterwards joined the Australian Navy, in which he earned the long service medal. At the call of duty he came over to this country two years ago and spent some short periods of leave in his native Lewis, where he met and called upon many old friends. His own home was in Melbourne, Australia, where he leaves a widow and one daughter. To them and to his mother, sisters and only brother, now serving in the Merchant Navy, our heartfelt sympathy goes out in their great loss.
