From Gary Mitchell
An Original Anzac who served and suffered during The Great War, resting at Belmont Cemetery.
Private Norman Roland Campbell, 13th Battalion (Reg No-834), labourer from Belmont, New South Wales, was laid to rest at Belmont Cemetery about the 4th December 1960, age 71 (passed away on the 2nd December 1960). Roman Catholic Lawn - Row 8. Plot 49.
Born at Adamstown, New South Wales about 1889 to Alexander and Rachel Ann Campbell (unsure if married), Norman enlisted September 1914 at Rosebery Park Racecourse, N.S.W.
Wounded in action - 8.6.1915 (GSW or SW right lung, right loin, right shoulder, back, severe).
Invalided to England 8.8.1915.
Nothing located on Trove regarding enlistment, service, returning home, etc.
Norman was invalided home June 1916, being discharged medically unfit (GSW back) on the 8th September 1916.
Mr. Campbell’s name has been inscribed on the Belmont Presbyterian Church Roll of Honour (photo, unveiled on the 25th July 1915), Belmont Public School Roll of Honour (whereabouts unknown), Belmont Memorial Hall Roll of Honour (destroyed in Community Hall fire, date unknown), and the Charlestown Public School Honor Roll.
I had received information that possibly a small cross had been erected at the gravesite, so imagine my surprise when seeing a beautiful black headstone without Norman’s name being inscribed.
Any information regarding the inscriptions of deceased would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot absolutely ascertain that Norman is resting here without a funeral notice, so any information would be greatly appreciated.
Norman’s service and sacrifice for God, King & Country has been remembered with a Plaque at the New South Wales Garden of Remembrance, Hawthorne Avenue, Rookwood, N.S.W.
Contact with descendants would be greatly appreciated.
Lest We Forget.
