Lance Corporal Campbell was based at Poole, home of the Royal Marines Assault Group. He was
conducting routine training involving fast roping from a helicopter, which is a Royal Marine skill,
when he fell.
The incident took place at the Pontrilas Army Training Area, near Hereford. A thorough investigation
is underway to determine the cause.
Lance Corporal Gordon Alexander Campbell, nicknamed "Gordy", aged 28, from Aberdeenshire,
joined the Royal Marines in November 1997. During his nine years in the military Gordy had strong
operational experience from service in Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan.
His Commanding Officer said:
"Throughout his career Gordy demonstrated a natural flair for soldiering, which was coupled
with an exceptional level of professionalism. As an individual he will be remembered as a fun
loving, generous, selfless and impressive man with a passion for Manchester United. A loyal and
dependable man, he has been a fine ambassador for the Royal Marines. He will be sorely
missed."

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache
the other died with you,
I often lay awake at night
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane
with tears upon my cheeks,
remembering you is easy
I do it everyday
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away,
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain...
Royal its been just over a year since you sadly left us, and there has not been a day gone past I have not thought about you mate, and the great laughs we had both in training and ashore. You are one of the greatest friends anyone could ever have a special forces hero, a very special friend.
Gone but never forgotten x
Forever missed
Where ever you are I hope you are happy X You might not be here in person anymore but your spirit is in everyone that had the pleasure of knowing you X I'll never forget you and will always miss you X

You lived your short life to the full and achieved all your dreams; most of us don't do this in a lifetime. We were very privileged to have known you. Let the angels look after you now. May you rest in peace.
