Alexander Douglas CampbellPrint Page 
The marble plaque commemorates Alexander Campbell who was killed in action in the South African (Boer) War.
It is with the deepest feelings of regret I have to confirm the news of the death of Alexander Douglas Campbell, who was shot in an engagement in South Africa last month. He was the youngest member of the Campbell family, and was a warm favourite with all who were acquainted with him. He went to South Africa some few months ago with the object of settling there, but not liking the appearance of Capetown he wanted to go to Kimberley, but found he could not do so unless he joined some regiment for six montlhs, which he did. He was shot in the neck by an explosive bullet; and died almost immediately. The greatest sympathy is expressed for his relatives, to whom his death has been severe blow, and numerous messages of condolence have been received by them from sympathetic friends.
