Therese Suzanne Adams
British Army Forage Corps
My mother, Therese (Terry) Suzanne Adams, was a member of the Forage Corps which was a military organisation under the direction of the Army Service Corps. It existed to provide the forage needed by the horses behind the Western Front. My mother served with this from 1916 until the Corps was disbanded in 1920. At its greatest it numbered some 6000 members. The records of the Corps do not seem to exist nowadays. Enquiries some years ago of the National Archive, The Royal Logistics Corps, the Army Museum and the Imperial War Museum disclosed very little.
Pte Thomas Adams
British Army 36th (Ulster) Division
from:66 Killowen Street, Coleraine, Co. Londonderry.
It was only recently, while doing some family tree projects,that I discovered my grandfather, Thomas Adams (Snr)had actually fought in the first Great War. He joined the 36th (Ulster) Division before I was born,(I was born on 9 June 1950), and after it was all over, it was never talked about. ..
He served with distinction at Dadizeele, receiving a Certificate and Medals. Unfortunately, a number of years ago, the medals were stolen, and never replaced. The Certificate only survived, along with a photo of him and his wife and young son (my father).
He was born on 29 June 1880. He married Charlotte Turner, from Ballyness, Somerset, Coleraine, County Londonderry at Camus Juxta Bann, St. Marys Church in the village of Macosquin on 26 Dec 1911.
After the Conflict he was demobbed and their Division was disbanded. (I only today found out, while reading your brilliant site that he could have been attached to any one of the 3 Irish Regiments, here in Ulster - but which one, I haven't been able to find out yet).
Upon returning to Ireland he became a labourer and worked as a docker at Coleraine Harbour, on the banks of the River Bann, which at that time had dozens of ships per week coming in. This dock area now, sadly, is a large supermarket and carpark.
He sadly died on 23 Nov 1973, aged 93 years. A good innings.. I think this website is a remarkable idea, to keep the memory alive of those who gave up so much, so that we could have our tomorrow. Good luck for the future.
