ANNA CAMPBELL<br />
As we were going to press we heard about the<br />
tragic death of 26-year-old <strong>Lewes</strong>ian Anna<br />
Campbell in Syria.<br />
Anna decided in May last year to go to Syria<br />
to fight for an all-female unit of the Kurdish<br />
army against ISIS. When that unit was transferred<br />
to another front, after Turkish forces<br />
commenced an offensive against the Kurds in<br />
Northern Syria, it appears that Anna ignored<br />
advice from her comrades to return home,<br />
opting to continue fighting alongside them.<br />
Anna was the daughter of former <strong>Viva</strong> columnist,<br />
the late Adrienne Campbell, and her<br />
husband Dirk Campbell, who has also contributed to the magazine. We’d like to pay tribute to Anna’s<br />
enormous bravery, and send our sincere condolences to her family and friends.<br />
