Ashley De Vere Campbell (29 September 1880 – 5 July 1943)[1] was an Australian male tennis player who was active before World War I. He was born in Sydney and attended Newington College (1893–1898)[2] where he was a noted cricketer. Campbell didn't play tennis until the age of eighteen and his game was heavily influenced by David Edwards who was a fellow Old Newingtonian.[3] Campbell moved to Melbourne in 1903 and was winner of the 1910 and 1914 Australasian men's doubles championships.[4] From 1929 until 1939 he lived In Europe, having been an executive of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company in Australia and New Zealand.[5] Campbell became secretary of the Free French movement in Victoria, and was secretary of the Red Cross and an active member of the Alliance Française. He died in a hospital in East St Kilda, Victoria.[6]
