Excerpt from American Decorations: A List of Awards of the Distinguished-Service Cross, the Distinguished-Service Medal, the Soldier's Medal and the Distinguished-Flying Cross Awarded Under Authority of the Congress of the United States, July 1, 1940 June 30, 1941 For heroism displayed in rescuing an enlisted man from drowning in the harbor at Manila, Philippine Islands, on May 20, 1940. When an enlisted man jumped overboard from an Army vessel tied up at a pier and was on the point of drowning, Private First Class Campbell dived from the ship into the water and went to his assistance. Swimming with a life preserver to the point where the drowning man had disappeared, Private First Class Campbell pulled him to the surface and assisted him to hold on to the life ring as it was hauled back to the Ship, thereby saving his life. The heroism displayed by Private First Class Campbell on this occasion reflects great credit upon himself and the military service.
