Biographical history

Colonel Henry Montgomery-Campbell (1859-1933) O.B.E., V.D., of Apohaqui, Kings County, and Fredericton. He commanded the 8th Princess Louise Hussars, 12th Infantry Brigade; organized the 64th Battalion, C.E.F., and commanded an Imperial labor brigade overseas in the First World War.

Brigadier-General Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (1861-1937). He attended the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, and was commissioned with the Royal Artillery in the Imperial Army. He served in Africa during the Boer War; in India; and commanded the 46th Divisional Artillery in the Great War. He was wounded in 1918, and at the close of his military career lived at Kelston Park, Bath, England.

Other family members represented in the collection are Herbert Montgomery-Campbell (son of Henry) who was killed in World War I; Constance Montgomery-Campbell (daughter of Henry); and Sophia Storie (Saunders) Montgomery-Campbell (mother of Henry and Herbert). Herbert and Henry Montgomery-Campbell were great-grandsons of Captain John Saunders, Loyalist and Chief Justice of New Brunswick--hence the frequent reference to the "Saunders" name in this collection.
