Campbell, John Terence

Description

The name on the Rye NY Honor Roll for WWII states Terene J Campbell. We cannot find anyone with that name. The Bio below is the closest fit to that name for a person who lived in Rye. Although we find it unlikely that Terence Campbell actively served in the armed forces at age 56, we do have his draft card, and he may have served the war effort in another capacity. Others Campbells we have researched with Rye connections can be found at Campbell Military Records.
