220007 Pte. Frederick Guildford Adams British Army 2nd Btn. D Coy . Royal Sussex from:8 Providence Row, Hastings (d.13th Oct 1915) Frederick Adams served with D Coy, 2nd Battalion, Royal Sussex Regiment He was my dad's oldest brother. He was killed before my father was born. He was killed at Loos on Wednesday 13th October 1915 when he was just 18 years of age. He was the son of Frederick and Milly Kate Adams of 8 Providence Row, Bourne Walk, Hastings. In 1996 I took dad across to France to visit Frederick's grave, it was a very moving experience. We were the first of the family to get to see where Frederick was buried. He is buried in Dud Corner Cemetery, Loos. Additional Information: My grandfather (C. E. Ballard, entry to be posted later) also served in 2 RSR; he and Frederick were cousins. The story passed down from him is that Frederick was shot in the head by a German sniper during his first week in the trenches. John M. Ballard Reply Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
