Campbell’s father was a doctor and grazier who installed in his third born child a love of learning and education. At the age of 15, Campbell was sent to the suburbs of Sydney to King’s School where five years later he earned a place at Cambridge University in England. Quickly assimilated into the English way of life after his arrival, Campbell found that he excelled at rugby and was picked for an international match against Wales in 1937. If he had stayed in England, he may well have become a fully-fledged sportsman rather than a poet, but Campbell returned to Australia in 1938 and, in 1939 with war in Europe looming, he joined the air force. He had learned to fly at Cambridge and served with distinction in the Far East during the war.
