𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥 comes from Glasgow, Scotland. As a child, he emigrated with his family to Western Canada. In 1916, one month before his 18th birthday, David enlisted for military service. He then works in a bank branch in Vancouver.

On October 30, 1917, his unit, the 72nd Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, stormed Crest Farm. The German stronghold is slightly higher than Passchendaele and is protected by a swamp. Machine guns guard the access roads.
