'Trooper Campbell' is a 1914 film from director Raymond Longford based on a poem by Henry Lawson.

It was considered a lost film[https://books.google.com/books?id=gkC-Eo7GsxMC&lpg=PA13&ots=n7YR1jgKx_&dq=%22ma%20hogan's%20new%20boarder%22&pg=PA14#v=onepage&q&f=false Eric Reade, 'History and heartburn: the saga of Australian film, 18961978', Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press, 1979 p. 13] but was discovered in the 1980s. Film writers Graham Shirley and Brian Adams stated that the film:

Shows an advance on 'The Romantic Story of Margaret Catchpole', not so much in performance, which is still haunted by melodrama, as in the use of depth of field and positioning within the frame... [It] appears to have been hurriedly made (it was never listed among Longford's major achievements) and displays nowhere near the polish of Alfred Rolfe's 'The Hero of the Dardanelles', completed halfway through the next year.Graham Shirley and Brian Adams, 'Australian Cinema: The First Eighty Years', Currency Press 1989 pp. 3536
