The Gippsland Times printed the following article during 1918.
Gunner Campbell Login Harrison was son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Harrison, of Sale, Victoria. Campbell had an eventful life. When lie was 19 years old, he went to South Africa, and after residing there for about a year he went with Captain Voss, who was then engaged on a cruise round the world in a small boat called the "Tilikum," which weighed only three tons, and which was ostensibly to demonstrate the value of the surf anchor. Campbell accepted an invitation to accompany Captain Voss on a perilous voyage from South Africa to South America, and thence to England. After many dangers and eventful experiences, they arrived safely in England, and for his daring exploit Campbell was made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He then spent six years in Canada and after his return to Australia he settled in Queensland, and it was there he heard the calls to arms, and he enlisted in December, 1914. He was present at the landing at Gallipoli, and remained there until the evacuation. He then went to France as a gunner in the Australian Artillery. There he was killed a fortnight after landing at the front, on 26 June 1916, at the age of 34 years.
