Sgt. George Francis Adams
British Army 10th Btn. B Coy. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
from:Walsgrave-on-Sowe
It is believed that George Adams volunteered for service on the same date as his brother Edwin (for whom a service record exists) on the 7th of September 1914. George sent a postcard on the 6th of March 1915 whilst training in Weston-super-Mare. He had just been promoted to Lance Sergeant. The postcard depicts a cartoon German soldier on a horse with the caption "For gootness sake Halt der 10th R. Warwicks are koming".
George's Medal Roll Index Card states that he was a Sergeant and disembarked in France with the 10th Royal Warwickshire Regiment. A field hospital record shows that George was in B company, 10th Royal Warwickshire Regiment. On the 25th of September 1915 he was sent back on a Hospital Ship St. David with an abscess on his right arm.
George survived the war and lived until 1969. George’s 1915 Star Medal Roll entry states that he was on the Class Z Reserve List until March 1920.
