Irvine Thomas Campbell (SN 13038) was born at Wallace where he was a 24 year old buttermaker when he enlisted in Ballarat on August 21st 1915. He trained with the Medical Corps before he embarked aboard the Runic on June 3rd and sailed to England. He was assigned to the 10th Field Ambulance but an extended hospital stay in England meant he did not begin service in France until November. During his service in France he had two short detachments to the 3rd Division Headquarters. In September 1918 he suffered a mild gunshot wound to his foot and was hospitalised for three weeks. When the war ended, he returned to Australia on nursing duty aboard the Aeneas. He disembarked at Melbourne on February 5th 1919 and was discharged on March 15th.

His brother Malcolm also served in the AIF and is honoured with a tree in the Avenue.
