We feel that because of Private Campbell being conscripted into the 1st Depot Battalion Saskatchewan Regiment No. 2 Company and then arriving overseas in England on August 15, 1918 that his military service all took place while he was in England.
He was taken on strength while he was at Bramshott - Hampshire by the 15th Reserve Battalion. 
Private Campbell contacted pneumonia and was hospitalized at No. 12 Canadian General Hospital located at Bramshott - Hampshire in England on September 30, 1918. His medical files state that influenza with severe toxity along with back and leg pains, sore eyes, sore throat began 8 days earlier on approximately September 22nd.
On October 4th it was reported that he was having much difficulty breathing and that by October 5th he was delirious.
Private Campbell died at 6:05 am on the morning of October 7, 1918.
