REGIMENTAL LORE SIR, --In Colonel Fergusson's interesting article on '
Regimental Lore' in your issue of July 30 'it is stated that ' there are now no Camp- ;hells of Inverawe but the family is represen- ted by Angus Campbell, the 20th Hereditary Captain of Dunstaffnage.' May 1 point out that there are still in fact quite a few Camp- bells of Inverawe, for instance the present Lord Lieutenant of Argyll, Sir Bruce .Camp- hell, KCB. CBE, is an Inverawe, and so is Colonel Ronnie _Campbell. CBE, DSO, iatip time Sabre Champion of Great Britain and reputy Director of Bayonet Fighting in.'the '1914-18 War. Our family is not represented by Dunstaff- nage, although it is the case that after the death of Campbell of Inverawe at Ticon- ddoga, his daughter sold the estate to her uncle by marriage, Colonel Campbell of Finab and Monzie, MP, and in that family it descended to Duns:affnage's mother, who sold it to Mr. James Currie in 1912. Dun- 'statfnage spent his boyhood at Inverawe. but does not regard himself as in any way repre.;, senting the family of Inverawe, and it wait in fact he who drew my -attention to .the mistake in Colonel Fergusson's article.-■■ Yours faithfully,
IAN M. CAMPBELL
