Description
An AIF recruiting lantern slide "Capt. Campbell, Military Cross - Cricketer". Possibly Gordon Cathcart Campbell, 10th Battalion. This slide is one of a series used in a 1917 recruiting campaign to encourage sportsmen to enlist in a sportsmen's unit, such as had been successfully raised in England. The concept was not as popular in Australia.
