PTE CHARLE L ADAMS RUSPIDGE

Charles Leonard Adams, second son of Mr
Albert Adams, of Lower Ruspidge, Cinderford
is among those who have made the great sacri-
fice for home and country. He was 22 years of
age, and joined the forces in June 1915, and
belonged to the Gloucester Regt. When he left
home for this purpose he was a fireman at
Lightmoor Colliery, where he had spent all
his working life, He had attended St. Johns
Sunday School as a boy and belonged to the
choir at that time. He was a happy com-
panionable fellow and was much beloved. The
friends have received official notice of his
death but in addition Sergt. J. Major has also
written as follows :- " I am sorry to tell
you your son was killed on the night of the
26th August. The whole of the
section and myself send our deepest sympathy
for you all. I am quite pleased to say he died
doing his best for his country, and that he
was not in agony, as his death was instan-
taneous and that he has has a proper burial
and a cross. I am sorry to say being such a
lively and good natured fellow, he is very much
missed in this section ". In addition to this
sorrow, Mr Adams also received an intimation
at the time that his eldest son James was
wounded and missing at the Dardanelles in
August 1915 and no further tidings have been
received of him. To Mr and Mrs Adams - the
step mother of the two lads - the deepest sym-
pathy will be expressed "
