Wayne Campbell has sadly passed away at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
As a Chelsea Pensioner, he was a proud resident of the hospital, but he also had strong ties to Spain through the Orihuela Costa and District Branch of the Royal British Legion.
Wayne had many close friends in the region and frequently visited the area, both for holidays, in support of the Branch, and to assist with the Annual RBL Poppy Appeal.
As a distinguished Chelsea Pensioner with a rich military background spanning careers in both the Canadian and British armed forces, his service began in 1954 with the Canadian Army, where he served until 1960.
Subsequently, he joined the British Army, dedicating 24 years from 1960 to 1984. During his tenure, Campbell was affiliated with the Royal Canadian Regiment and the Canadian Provost Corps, achieving the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1.
His deployments included assignments with the Gurkha Military Police and the Special Investigation Branch (SIB) in regions such as Cyprus, Malaya, Northern Ireland, Borneo, Singapore, and Burma.
Beyond his military career, Campbell was an active participant in many charitable initiatives and in February 2023, the High Commissioner of Canada to the United Kingdom, Ralph Goodale, visited the Royal Hospital where he met with Wayne to express appreciation and respect for his service.
Wayne will be fondly remembered for his warmth, friendship, and unwavering support of the Royal British Legion. His presence brought joy to many, both in Spain and at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
He will be deeply missed by his friends, fellow Chelsea Pensioners, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in Peace dear friend.
