Hugh Adamson
British Army Royal Ulster Rifles
I joined the Army when I was 16 (1940) and served until the summer of 1946. During that time I served with the Royal Ulster Rifles in gliders and the 2nd Btn Parachute Regiment in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. I was taken prisoner in Sicily but escaped, was wounded and taken prisoner again at Arnhem in Holland. I spent the rest of the war in a Stalag. I would not have missed it when I look back on it all.
