Date | Original Topic | 21st July 2002 | 987 Private Robert ADAMS -- any Information? By Victoria Adams Family legend has it that he is an ancestor. We certainly had lots of family members in the various incarnations of the welsh regiment -- I have lots of memorberial from my great grandfather and it was always said it was an uncle or cousin that was at RD. Any info on Robert Adams? | Date | Replies | 21st July 2002 | John Young Victoria,
Private 25th Brigade No. 987 Roberts Adams, was killed in action, whilst a patient at the hospital at Rorke's Drift.
For further references see; 'The Noble 24th', by Norman Holme, 'The Rorke's Drift Doctor', by Lee Stevenson, 'Nothing Remains but to Fight', by Ian Knight & my own 'They Fell Like Stones'.
He is buried in the walled graveyard at Rorke's Drift.
Hope that's of some use.

John Young,
