Alec Campbell has left us. He was the last surviving ANZAC of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. He was 103 years old.
With his passing, a great loss of Australian heritage has gone with him, he will be sorely missed.

Mr Campbell was so well liked because he didnt appreciate the attention afforded to him, and didnt like wearing his well-earned medals.

Mr Campbell has been granted a state funeral, and this service will be destined as a national period of mourning.

LEST WE FORGET-The great men of Alec Campbell's calibre.
