Sandy Campbell (GC)
Second Lieutenant Alexander Fraser Campbell GC (2 May 1898 – 18 October 1940), known as Sandy Campbell, of the Royal Engineers, 9th Bomb Disposal Company was posthumously awarded the George Cross for conspicuous gallantry in defusing a bomb in October 1940.
==Triumph Engineering Works unexploded bomb==
On the 14 October 1940 at Chapel Street, Coventry, 2nd Lt. Campbell along with Sergeant Michael Gibson and Sappers W. Gibson, R. Gilchrest, A. Plumb, R.W. Skelton and Driver E.F.G. Taylor were tasked to deal with a unexploded bomb.
The sappers spent almost four days uncovering the bomb which was found to contain a very damaged delayed-action fuse mechanism which could not be removed in situ. Though any electrical charge within the fuse was thought to have dissipated, Campbell still applied a discharge tool.
On the 17 October 1940, Campbell, believing the bomb to be inert ordered it to be moved. It was loaded onto a lorry and taken to Whitley Common where it could be detonated safely. Campbell positioned himself next to the bomb on this journey listening for any timer mechanism that might have been activated by the bomb's removal. The bomb was remotely detonated.
