I found this on the RootsWeb list and thought it might help someone.

I have a bag of old photos, a discharge certificate from the
Great War, and other "bits and bobs" concerning Captain L. S.
CAMPBELL and his daughter Miss Jean CAMPBELL, who was a ballet
teacher and now deceased. I think some of the army photos go
back further than the First World War. Captain CAMPBELL is
wearing a pith helmet and very smart regimental uniform and one
of the photos shows him in a hot country outside his tent. On
the back of this particular photo is written "B.P.R.A. No. 6
tent as its occupant." There is also a baptism card in the
bundle for Ada Evelyn TOOKE, baptized at St. Augustine's,
Wisbech, on 25th September, 1896 and confirmed at St.
Augustine's by the Bishop of Ely on the 20th March 1912. I
think this was Captain CAMPBELL`s wife. I have had these items
for some time now, as they were going to be thrown away in a
house clearance and no relatives could be found. If somebody can
genuinely prove to be connected to this family, they are welcome
to all I have.
