Captain Robert William Campbell, Royal Scots Fusiliers wrote a book entitled “Private Spud Tamson”.
I am trying, for a friend, to find any information about the author. His medal card shows an address at Roberton, Abington.
Is there anyone who can help with this query, please.
Thanks.

Morag,
Have a look here: https://archive.org/details/privatespudtamso00campuoft
You can download a copy free.
Once the above link loads, scroll down a bit until you see BW/PDF. Click that and a PDF copy will download which you can then save. (It's about 10MB)
Alternatively, uou can read it online at the initial opening page.
I haven't read through it but there might be details about the author in it somewhere.
Anne
P.S. If you click on the Author's name, it will bring up a page of other works. |

Thanks Anne. Will have a look. Would really like the authors military history if we can find any but I'm not sure where to look. I know there are people here who can perform "miracles" when it comes to searching things out!

Ah.. Ken
I knew you would find something! I will pass on both these pieces of info and leave it up to them to decide what to do next.
Many thanks to you and Anne.
Morag.
Ps would 1 day at Kew be enough? Could probably spend a week there and still not find everything that we would like. |
