Archibald enlisted in November 1915 and, shortly before he was called up in March 1916, he married Beatrice Mills, a school teacher at Ashbourne Road School, who lived at 60 Statham Street, Derby with her mother. They married on 26th February 1916 at Green Hill Presbyterian Chapel, Green Hill, Derby - sadly their all too short marriage did not result in any children.
Archie was initially posted with the North Midland Howitzer Brigade (part of the Royal Field Artillery), but in July 1916 he was transferred to 232 Brigade B Battery, Royal Field Artillery and posted to Northern France.

Pte. James Adamson
British Army 2nd Btn. Highland Light Infantry
from:Castleford, W Yorks
(d.23rd Oct 1918)
My great uncle James Adamson was killed 19 days prior to the Armistice, he has no known grave. Although listed as being 23 years old in the war records, he is shown on the 1901 census as 2 years old, which would make him 19 at time of death. He is commemorated Vis en Artois memorial just outside of Arras, a place I intend to visit on 23rd of October 2018, 100 years to the day he died. Just recently a photo miraculously turned up from somewhere in our family and no one really knew for sure who it was, but I have no doubt it is him.
Dvr. James Valentine Adamson
British Army XLV Brigade Royal Field Artillery
from:Perthshire, Scotland
My paternal grandfather was James Adamson, a driver with XLV Brigade RFA. Born in Govan, Scotland, in March 1891, his medals include the 1914 Star without the clasp, which suggests he was not under gunfire during the Great War before at least the end of November 1914. I believe he served in India but I am unsure whether this was before or after WWI. In later years, he was a pig farmer.
He had a younger brother Andrew, who was killed in 1917. Family members have suggested that he too served with the RFA, but the only likely J Adamson seems to be the wrong one, and the dates don't match up. My research suggests he served with the Royal Engineers on a Cable Section.
John Edward Adamson
British Army 3rd Btn. Coldstream Guards
from:Chester le Street
(d.2nd Feb 1915)
John Adamson was the son of John Edward Adamson and Annie and was born in Hartlepool in 1894. However in 1901, he was living with his Uncle, Stephen Adamson in Chester-le-Street and he is shown as being his adopted son. In 1911, he was still living with his Uncle in Chester le Street and was shown as Jack.
The UK De Ruvigney's Roll of Honour states the following:- Adamson, John Edward, No 10473, 3rd Battalion, Coldstream Guards, nephew and adopted son of Stephen Adamson of South View, South Pelaw, Chester le Street; died on 2nd February 1915 of wounds received in action in Cuinchy.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission gives his date of death as 20th February 1915 however and states that he was buried in the Bois-Guillaume Communal Cemetery in France. John Edward was my 3rd Cousin 3 times removed.
Pte. John Robert Adamson
British Army 18th Btn. Durham Light Infantry
from:31 Bond Street, Monkwearmouth
(d.1st Jul 1916)
John Robert Adamson was born on the 1st November 1891 in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, to Esther and Robert Adamson. He enlisted with the County Battalion DLI at Sunderland on the 1st of October 1914, giving his occupation as pianist. In the 1911 Census John's occupation is listed as Coupler-On in the coal mine, which involved coupling tubs together on the underground railway. His father was a Coal Mine Charge Man underground.
John went missing in action on the first day of the Battle of the Somme and was presumed dead. He is remembered on the Theipval Memorial in France.
