Our Military Correspondent writes : Sir David Campbell's motto might well have been “ thorough . " I have rarely known a soldier who , confronted with a problem , would take so much pains to get at the root of it , with the aid of all the information he could procure , and with such a grim determination not to be turned aside by the ceremonial and social distractions which beset a man in high position . He had , too , an unusual recep tiveness to ideas , although few would have suspected it who did not know him well , since his manner scarcely seemed to invite suggestions , yet no one was more likely to give them assiduous reflection . A cavalryman , he had not only the born cavalryman's , instinct for mobile manoeuvre in action , but the constant desire to develop it in the spheres of train ing and organization . When given com mand in Baluchistan after the War , he embarked on tactical experiments with a view to curing the trench - warfare paralysis which still gripped the Army , and especially the infantry ; he was one of the first to see the potentialities of a new theory of infantry tactics then being pro pounded in certain quarters at home , and he tried out one of its features , the " expanding torrent " method of attack , on a large scale . These training develop ments attracted the attention of the higher authorities to the value of his work , and led to his rapid ascent to posts of the highest influence . POST - WAR REFORMS Early in 1926 he was made Military Secretary at home , and although the work was of an unfamiliar kind , he threw him self into it with such vigour as to bring system into a branch where it had been rather lacking . His driving idea was to A man easy to misjudge , he sometimes misjudged others - the more easily because of impatience . So it had been in the War , when some of the most zealous officers under him , especially of the New Army , acquired a resentment of his outwardly curt manner which would probably have changed to loyal devotion if only the psychological barrier could have been . penetrated and mutual understanding established . They would have found that he was more ready to give credit to the help that others gave him than most men in the seats of authority , and had an eagerness for the improvement of the Service that compelled admiration . SPORT AND SERVICE The son of Major H. Wotton Campbell , The Cameron Highlanders , David Graham Muschet Campbell was born January 28 , 1869. At Clifton he excelled at games and was in the Eleven ; he also played cricket for the Royal Military College and , as a cadet , was already noted for his horsemanship . He was gazetted to the 9th Lancers in March , 1889 , and obtained his first step in December , 1890. Very soon his racing successes made him well known as an amateur rider . He won the Irish National Hunt Cup and the Irish Grand Military on the same day in 1895 , the Irish National Hunt Cup again in 1896 , and the Grand Military at Sandown Park in 1896 and 1897 ; but his greatest triumph was his victory in the Grand National of 1896 , when he rode The Soarer , whom he had then recently sold to Mr. Hall Walker . In that same year he played in the winning teams of the Inter - Regi mental and the Subalterns ' Polo Tournaments , a record never since equalled . He tried to repeat his Aintree victory in 1897 , but fell and broke his collar - bone . For many years afterwards ho continued to ride winners in steeplechases and on the flat . At Aldershot in 1930 he won the Military Drag Hunt Cup , being then 61 . of the fighting at the Battle of Frezenburg Ridge , and he was again wounded . In September at Loos , on the second day of the battle , his brigade reinforced and helped to hold the Loos - Hill 70 position . Having been promoted captain in May , 1899 , he went with his regiment from India to the Cape on the outbreak of the South African War . He was mentioned in dispatches and gained the brevet of major in August , 1902. From September of that year until he received his substantive majority in March , 1904 , he was adjutant of his regiment , and in October , 1905 , was appointed brigade major of the Ambala Cavalry Brigade , in which capacity he found time to indulge in many forms of sport . Four years later he left India , and in March , 1912 , was promoted lieutenant - colonel to command the 9th Lancers . When the late War began he took his regiment to France in the British Expeditionary Force . The 9th Lancers were prominent in action at Elouges , on the first day of the retreat from Mons ; at Moncel , on September 7 during the Battle of the Marne , Colonel Campbell with about 30 of his own people charged with success a whole squadron of the German 1st Guard Dragoons , and in this mounted combat - perhaps unique on the Western Front - he received two wounds . At " First Ypres " on October 31 , 1914 , he was hotly engaged defending Messines with the remnant of his regiment , and in Novem ber received the command of the 6th Cavalry Brigade , his brevet colonelcy coming in February , 1915 . During the later stages of " Second bres , " May , 1915 , his brigade was in the thick In March , 1916 , Campbell was promoted to the substantive rank of colonel , and in May was given command of the 21st Division , which he retained until the end of the War . He was pro moted major - general in January , 1917. The divi in the Arras battles , and at " Third Ypres " in sion fought during the Somme offensive of 1916 ; 1917 , also meeting the German counter - stroke at Cambrai ; and in 1918 put up a magnificent resistance when the enemy attacked on the Aisne at the end of May . During the advance to victory it fought six battles under the Third Army and thus completed a record of hard fight Campbell , whose personal gallantry was often ing unsurpassed on the Western Front . General in evidence , had every reason to be proud of his command . in progress , Campbell was transferred to the 33rd In February , 1919 , when demobilization was Division , and came home to command the troops at Clipstone in September , until the beginning of 1920. He had been mentioned seven times in dispatches and created C.B. in 1916. He was promoted to K.C.B. in 1919 and to G.C.B. in 1935 . Aldershot In March , 1920 , he left for India to take up the appointment of G.O.C. Baluchistan District ; he remained for four years and received his He became Military Secretary to the Secretary of promotion to lieutenant - general in January , 1924 . State for War in February , 1926 , but in March of the following year was given Command . Here he accomplished much pains taking work in a not altogether congenial atmo sphere , for he was no theorist , and it was a time of reorganization in training and establishments due to the spread of mechanization . promoted general in June , 1930 , and left Alder shot in the following year on his appointment as Governor of Malta . He was GOVERNOR OF MALTA of Malta in October , 1931 , at a difficult time . Sir David Campbell took up the Governorship Lord Strickland's Constitutionalist Ministry was still in office , but only in an advisory capacity , its mandate having expired , and the islands had reverted to Crown Colony government . report of the Royal Commission , which sat in Malta , under the chairmanship of Lord Askwith , was issued in February , 1932 , and did much to ease the tension . It recommended , inter alia , that Parliamentary government should be restored , and that only English and Maltese should be The taught in the Government elementary schools , the children being relieved of the task of learning Italian also . The General Election which followed resulted in the return to power of the Nationalist Party under Sir Ugo Mifsud and Dr. Mizzi , and Sir David Campbell , now a Constitutional Governor , had to deal with the active policy of Italianization In September , 1933 , returning hurriedly from leave , he enacted an Ordinance giving him the control of foreign educational and similar activities and removing from the Ministry the control of the police . His warnings were unheeded , and in October he pre sented Ministers with a list of measures which pursued by the new Ministry . he called on them to revoke . They refused , and in November , 1933 , they were dismissed , the Senate and the Assembly were dissolved , and for the second time Sir David assumed the full administration as in a Crown Colony . enable the most promising officers to be brought forward earlier while giving the average a fair chance . He had laid the foundations of reform - unfortunately its fulfilment tarried - by the time he was moved , barely a year later , to the Alder shot Command . Before taking it over , he submitted his views upon the necessary reorganization and mechanization of the Army , putting forward a scheme so boldly progressive that the Army is stil . far from its realization . But once at two daughters Aldershot , although he now held the highest command in the Army at home , he found himself less able to influence policy ; moreover , although he effected various improvements of details , his tenure of the Aldershot Command was not so great a success as had been hoped . This was due partly to lack of scope under the restricted conditions of the time , and partly to difficulties in working smoothly with some of his senior subordinates . The effect on the mass of the people was one of obvious relief , and a week afterwards the Governor was enthusiastically received by the crowds at a public ceremony . In October , 1934 , Maltese was made the principal language of the Law Courts in place of Italian , which had held that position since the days of the Knights , when Maltese had not begun to be a written language . This reform was a great boon to the people , of whom hardly 15 per cent . had any knowledge of Italian . In spite of the peculiar difficulties which he had to meet as Governor , Sir David Campbell secured in an exceptional degree the liking of the Maltese people . His obvious fairness and sincerity and his friendly demeanour impressed all political parties , and enabled him to tread a delicate path with success . In May , 1935 , he was taken suddenly ill , had to undergo an immediate operation , and then to proceed to England on sick leave . After five months of medical treatment in England , Campbell , although not fully restored to health , gallantly returned to his post , at that time one arrival in Malta , where his return was warmly of special complexity , but within a month of his acclaimed , suffered another breakdown , which about Christmas - time nearly proved fatal . General Campbell was appointed an A.D.C. General to his late Majesty in March , 1931 , and had been colonel of his old Regiment , the 9th Lancers , since September , 1930. From July , 1922 , to November , 1927 , he was honorary colonel of the North Somerset Yeomanry . He married , in 1899 , Janet May , the daughter of Sir Robert Aikman , LL.D. , of St. Andrews , and leaves a son and 1936 " , DEATH OF R.S.M. CHERRETT Loss to North Somerset 197 Yeomanry The death took place on Friday in Aldershot Military Hospital , where he had been lying seriously ill since Boxing Day , of Regimental - Sergt . - Major W. Cherrett , who had been Regimental - Sergeant - Major of the North Somerset Yeomanry for about two years , succeeding R.S.M. Townsend , on the latter being posted to the 4th / 7th Dragoons . During the time he was with the Regiment , R.S.M. Cherrett éarned , the high appreciation of the officers and men for the efficient manner in which he carried out his duties ; it was largely due to his keenness and enthusiasm that the Head quarters and " A " ( Bath ) Squadron achieved such remarkable efficiency in musketry last year and at the Regimental sports . He will be greatly missed , for he was very popular with all who knew him . War Service . Mr. Cherrett joined the 9th Lancers and served with that Regiment during the Great War . He held the 1914.15 ' Star and the King's and Victory medals , as well así He subse the Long Service decoration . quently transforred to the 16th / 5th Lancers , from which unit he was posted to Bath as the senior warrant officer of the North Somerset Yeomanry .

To - day was mainly concerned with military classes , and more particularly the Inter - Unit Horse Championship of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade ( Brigadier C. A. Heydeman ) , for which the Salisbury Challenge Cup is the chief prize . The 9th Queen's Royal Lancers began this morning happy in the knowledge that as winners of the Brigade Assault - at - Arms Cup on the eve of the show they had a substantial margin of points gained towards the challenge trophy . But the other competing regiments , the 3rd The King's Own Hussars and the 15th / 19th The King's Royal Hussars , were keenly alive to the importance of getting every point in classes which , together with the assault - at - arms com petition , count for the brigade's horse show championship . The various turnouts as they entered the ring provided a fine sight and for those who had come to see the jumping , which is an important part of the programme each day , there was plenty to occupy the attention in two novices ' competitions ( officers and other ranks ) , a Continental competi tion , and an other ranks competition . Among the results of to - day's competitions were the following : - SHOEING . - 1 , Farrier Corporal Underwood , 15th / 19th Hussars : 2 , Farrier Corporal Ruddock , R.A.V.C .; 3 , Farrier Vickery , 9th Lancers .

Obituary
GENERAL SIR DAVID CAMPBELL
SOLDIER , SPORTSMAN , AND ADMINISTRATOR
General Sir David Campbell , who resigned last month the post of Governor of Malta , died in the Queen Alexandra Military Hospital , Millbank , yesterday , at the age of 67 .
Our Military Correspondent writes : Sir David Campbell's motto might well have been “ thorough . " I have rarely known a soldier who , confronted with a problem , would take so much pains to get at the root of it , with the aid of all the information he could procure , and with such a grim determination not to be turned aside by the ceremonial and social distractions which beset a man in high position . He had , too , an unusual recep tiveness to ideas , although few would have suspected it who did not know him well , since his manner scarcely seemed to invite suggestions , yet no one was more likely to give them assiduous reflection .
A cavalryman , he had not only the born cavalryman's , instinct for mobile manoeuvre in action , but the constant desire to develop it in the spheres of train ing and organization . When given com mand in Baluchistan after the War , he embarked on tactical experiments with a view to curing the trench - warfare paralysis which still gripped the Army , and especially the infantry ; he was one of the first to see the potentialities of a new theory of infantry tactics then being pro pounded in certain quarters at home , and he tried out one of its features , the " expanding torrent " method of attack , on a large scale . These training develop ments attracted the attention of the higher authorities to the value of his work , and led to his rapid ascent to posts of the highest influence .
POST - WAR REFORMS Early in 1926 he was made Military Secretary at home , and although the work was of an unfamiliar kind , he threw him self into it with such vigour as to bring system into a branch where it had been rather lacking . His driving idea was to
A man easy to misjudge , he sometimes misjudged others - the more easily because of impatience . So it had been in the War , when some of the most zealous officers under him , especially of the New Army , acquired a resentment of his outwardly curt manner which would probably have changed to loyal devotion if only the psychological barrier could have been . penetrated and mutual understanding established . They would have found that he was more ready to give credit to the help that others gave him than most men in the seats of authority , and had an eagerness for the improvement of the Service that compelled admiration .
SPORT AND SERVICE The son of Major H. Wotton Campbell , The Cameron Highlanders , David Graham Muschet Campbell was born January 28 , 1869. At Clifton he excelled at games and was in the Eleven ; he also played cricket for the Royal Military College and , as a cadet , was already noted for his horsemanship . He was gazetted to the 9th Lancers in March , 1889 , and obtained his first step in December , 1890. Very soon his racing successes made him well known as an amateur rider . He won the Irish National Hunt Cup and the Irish Grand Military on the same day in 1895 , the Irish National Hunt Cup again
in 1896 , and the Grand Military at Sandown Park
in 1896 and 1897 ; but his greatest triumph was
his victory in the Grand National of 1896 , when he rode The Soarer , whom he had then recently sold to Mr. Hall Walker . In that same year he played in the winning teams of the Inter - Regi mental and the Subalterns ' Polo Tournaments , a record never since equalled . He tried to repeat his Aintree victory in 1897 , but fell and broke his collar - bone . For many years afterwards ho continued to ride winners in steeplechases and on the flat . At Aldershot in 1930 he won the Military Drag Hunt Cup , being then 61 .
of the fighting at the Battle of Frezenburg Ridge , and he was again wounded . In September at Loos , on the second day of the battle , his brigade reinforced and helped to hold the Loos - Hill 70 position .
Having been promoted captain in May , 1899 , he went with his regiment from India to the Cape on the outbreak of the South African War . He was mentioned in dispatches and gained the brevet of major in August , 1902. From September of that year until he received his substantive majority in March , 1904 , he was adjutant of his regiment , and in October , 1905 , was appointed brigade major of the Ambala Cavalry Brigade , in which capacity he found time to indulge in many forms of sport . Four years later he left India , and in March , 1912 , was promoted lieutenant - colonel to command the 9th Lancers .
When the late War began he took his regiment to France in the British Expeditionary Force . The 9th Lancers were prominent in action at Elouges , on the first day of the retreat from Mons ; at Moncel , on September 7 during the Battle of the Marne , Colonel Campbell with about 30 of his own people charged with success a whole squadron of the German 1st Guard Dragoons , and in this mounted combat - perhaps unique on the Western Front - he received two wounds . At " First Ypres " on October 31 , 1914 , he was hotly engaged defending Messines with the remnant of his regiment , and in Novem ber received the command of the 6th Cavalry Brigade , his brevet colonelcy coming in February , 1915 . During the later stages of " Second bres , " May , 1915 , his brigade was in the thick
In March , 1916 , Campbell was promoted to the substantive rank of colonel , and in May was given command of the 21st Division , which he retained until the end of the War . He was pro moted major - general in January , 1917. The divi in the Arras battles , and at " Third Ypres " in sion fought during the Somme offensive of 1916 ; 1917 , also meeting the German counter - stroke at Cambrai ; and in 1918 put up a magnificent resistance when the enemy attacked on the Aisne at the end of May . During the advance to victory it fought six battles under the Third Army and thus completed a record of hard fight Campbell , whose personal gallantry was often ing unsurpassed on the Western Front . General in evidence , had every reason to be proud of his
command .
in progress , Campbell was transferred to the 33rd In February , 1919 , when demobilization was Division , and came home to command the troops at Clipstone in September , until the beginning of 1920. He had been mentioned seven times in dispatches and created C.B. in 1916. He was promoted to K.C.B. in 1919 and to G.C.B. in 1935 .
Aldershot
In March , 1920 , he left for India to take up the appointment of G.O.C. Baluchistan District ; he remained for four years and received his He became Military Secretary to the Secretary of promotion to lieutenant - general in January , 1924 . State for War in February , 1926 , but in March of the following year was given Command . Here he accomplished much pains taking work in a not altogether congenial atmo sphere , for he was no theorist , and it was a time of reorganization in training and establishments due to the spread of mechanization . promoted general in June , 1930 , and left Alder shot in the following year on his appointment as Governor of Malta .
He was
GOVERNOR OF MALTA
of Malta in October , 1931 , at a difficult time . Sir David Campbell took up the Governorship Lord Strickland's Constitutionalist Ministry was still in office , but only in an advisory capacity , its mandate having expired , and the islands had reverted to Crown Colony government . report of the Royal Commission , which sat in Malta , under the chairmanship of Lord Askwith , was issued in February , 1932 , and did much to ease the tension . It recommended , inter alia , that Parliamentary government should be restored , and that only English and Maltese should be
The
taught in the Government elementary schools , the children being relieved of the task of learning Italian also .
The General Election which followed resulted in the return to power of the Nationalist Party under Sir Ugo Mifsud and Dr. Mizzi , and Sir David Campbell , now a Constitutional Governor , had to deal with the active policy of Italianization In September , 1933 , returning hurriedly from leave , he enacted an Ordinance giving him the control of foreign educational and similar activities and removing from the Ministry the control of the police . His warnings were unheeded , and in October he pre sented Ministers with a list of measures which
pursued by the new Ministry .
he called on them to revoke . They refused , and in November , 1933 , they were dismissed , the Senate and the Assembly were dissolved , and for the second time Sir David assumed the full administration as in a Crown Colony .
enable the most promising officers to be brought forward earlier while giving the average a fair chance . He had laid the foundations of reform - unfortunately its fulfilment tarried - by the time he was moved , barely a year later , to the Alder shot Command . Before taking it over , he submitted his views upon the necessary reorganization and mechanization of the Army , putting forward a scheme so boldly progressive that the Army is stil . far from its realization . But once at two daughters Aldershot , although he now held the highest command in the Army at home , he found himself less able to influence policy ; moreover , although he effected various improvements of details , his tenure of the Aldershot Command was not so great a success as had been hoped . This was due partly to lack of scope under the restricted conditions of the time , and partly to difficulties in working smoothly with some of his senior subordinates .
The effect on the mass of the people was one of obvious relief , and a week afterwards the Governor was enthusiastically received by the crowds at a public ceremony . In October , 1934 , Maltese was made the principal language of the Law Courts in place of Italian , which had held that position since the days of the Knights , when Maltese had not begun to be a written language . This reform was a great boon to the people , of whom hardly 15 per cent . had any knowledge of Italian .
In spite of the peculiar difficulties which he had to meet as Governor , Sir David Campbell secured in an exceptional degree the liking of the Maltese people . His obvious fairness and sincerity and his friendly demeanour impressed all political parties , and enabled him to tread a delicate path with success .
In May , 1935 , he was taken suddenly ill , had to undergo an immediate operation , and then to proceed to England on sick leave . After five months of medical treatment in England , Campbell , although not fully restored to health , gallantly returned to his post , at that time one arrival in Malta , where his return was warmly of special complexity , but within a month of his acclaimed , suffered another breakdown , which about Christmas - time nearly proved fatal .
General Campbell was appointed an A.D.C. General to his late Majesty in March , 1931 , and had been colonel of his old Regiment , the 9th
Lancers , since September , 1930. From July , 1922 , to November , 1927 , he was honorary colonel of the North Somerset Yeomanry . He married , in 1899 , Janet May , the daughter of Sir Robert Aikman , LL.D. , of St. Andrews , and leaves a son and
