Comments
John Adams was one of my Clerk of Works in Workshops Troop, 6 Field Park Squadron in the latter half of the 1960s. As a young sapper I had a great regard for him. "Q" Adams as he was known to us then, was kindly, very approachable and always ready to help with practical advice.
It was an honour and a privilege to serve with John in boy's service at the Army Apprentices School, Harrogate. We trained together from February 1953 until February 1956 and at Farnborough for the B3 Field Engineering course before going to our first regular units. Well done John in reaching WO1 you were a good soldier and tradesman. Terry Reeves writes [24th September 2010]:
