General Sir Frederick Campbell, KCB, DSO (25 February 1860 – 29 August 1943) was a British Army officer who is best known for the Younghusband Expedition to Tibet in 1903–1904.^[1]

Early life

Campbell went to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and after he graduated he was deployed to India where he took part in the Hazara Expedition of 1888 and the Chitral Relief Expedition in 1895. While based in the North-West Frontier Province, he served in battles against local tribesmen in 1897 (Siege of Malakand), 1897–1898 (Operations in Mamund country).^[1]

During the First World War, religious leaders in the Ottoman Empire called for a holy war against the British. This inspired tribesmen of the North-West Frontier Province to revolt.^[2] During this time Campbell commanded the 1st (Peshawar) Division between 1915 and 1919.^[1]^[3]^[4]
