. . . Another poignant section of Len's diary features a 'death notice' for one of his friends in the 7th London Regiment, who came from Perth and Kinross and was killed in action against heavily defended German positions.
The notice marking the death of Lance Sgt David S. Adams, from Aberfeldy, was made on a piece of a ration box after he was killed while trying to force German soldiers off two huge coal waste heaps. His body was never found, but his name appears on the panel at the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at the Loos Memorial in France. . . .
Lance-Sergeant David S. Adams, "A" Company, 7th Battalion London Regiment, son of David and Jane Ann Adams, Annesley Cottage, Aberfeldy, who was killed in action in France on 20th October 1915. |
