This photo is from the collection of Leeds postman Tom Wheldon (also spelt Weldon) who served in 1/8 Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment during WW1 and was a veteran of the Boer War.
Rev. Archibald Ean Campbell (1856-1921) was Vicar of All Souls, Blackman Lane, Leeds, from 1891 until 1901 and acted as chaplain to the Leeds Rifles. All Souls is not far from the centre of Leeds and close to Carlton Hill Barracks, the former home of the Rifles.The son of a colonel, Rev. Campbell was educated at King William's College, IOM, and Clare College, Cambridge. After being ordained in 1881, he became a curate in Aberdare, and then rector of Castle Rising in Norfolk, before his move to Leeds.
He was Provost of St Ninian's in Perth from July 1901 and was elected Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway at the end of 1903, taking up the post the following year.
It is unlikely he was able to keep up his connection with the Rifles after his move to Scotland, so this photo was probably taken before the summer of 1901.
