- Wal_Campbell abstract "John William Wallace "Wal" Campbell (27 November 1906 – 4 July 1979) was an Australian anti-Catholic journalist and refrigeration mechanic.Campbell was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to John William Wallace Campbell, an Australian Boer War veteran, and Antonette Cholette, née Bleckmann. The younger Campbell, known as "Wal", came to Australia as an infant, and was a telegram delivery boy, a drover and a shearer. Ultimately he became a refrigerator mechanic. On 31 May 1940 he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force, serving in the Middle East and Papua with the 2nd/4th Field Company of the Royal Australian Engineers. He was sent back to Australia in August 1943 after contracting malaria, and was discharged a sergeant on 23 October 1945. During his service in the Middle East, Campbell came to believe that Syrian Catholic priests had betrayed Allied forces after observing a man signalling from a monastery window, instilling in him the anti-Catholicism that would characterise the rest of his life.In January 1945 Campbell published the Rock, a "brash eight-page tabloid", reporting on supposed corruption, sex scandals and intrigue inside the Catholic Church. By the 1950s circulation of the paper was around 30,000, but it was never financially secure. The paper gradually declined, although it had some influence during the debate on public funding of private schools and the Labor split of 1955. The death of Pope John Paul I in 1978 fuelled Campbell's beliefs of conspiracy within the church. He was arrested in 1978 after a disturbance at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, and he found himself out of place in a more modern world. The Rock, still running, became a monthly paper in the late 1970s, when Campbell moved to Calvert in Queensland.Campbell died in 1979 at Grandchester and was cremated with Reformed Presbyterian forms. The Rock continued its slow decline, publishing its final issue in 1995.".
