		Later in life, Campbell was a union organiser in the Launceston and Hobart railway workshops and an organiser with the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners (now part of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union).
		Campbell never understood the intense public attention on his later life and his longevity and was unhappy at times that he was lauded by conservative politicians who ignored his later union activity.

	Alec William Cambell; the last Anzac (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Alec was the son of Marian Thrower and Samuel Campbell and grandson of Donald Campbell, an immigrant from Argyllshire, Scotland.
		Alec's admittance to the small Field Ambulance in Hotchkiss Gully, Anzac, would stand as a punctuation mark in the story of his life, for although unsuspected as such at the time, it marked the beginning of the end of his service as a soldier of the Great War.
		Despite all this, it is for his special connection with Gallipoli that Alec Campbell will be most remembered, and while it is sometimes stated that he blazed away at the Turks through loop-holes in the fire trenches, all evidence is against this.

		Campbell was 16 years old when he enlisted as Private No. 2731 in the 15th Batallion of the first Australian Infantry Force (AIF) in 1915.
		Regardless of one's view of the often simplistic and jingoistic attitudes to the Anzac 'legend', it cannot be doubted that Campbell represented much that is good of a generation that fought in that foreign war: courage, good humour, humility and concern for others.

		Campbell, born in Scotland, lately transplanted to Australia, earned his reputation among the comixcenti in the late 1980s for his semi-autobiographical works (collected last year as "Alec: The King Canute Crowd").
		Using this tether Campbell dives into and returns from extended caveats on subjects like the history of the industry during the '80s "boom-years," the difference between craft and art, and the challenges of remaining an Artist in such an historically disposable medium.
		Campbell has a sketchy style that captures the essence of a moment through the expression of his line, rather than minute details.
