HERBERT JAMES WILLAIM HUXTABLE ADAMS
Herbert James William Huxtable Adams was born in February of 1875 in Devon, England but there is no information about when he moved to Australia and why. Herbert Adams was married to Lillian Kate Adams his details are insufficient however the documents suggests that he was a tailor in Toowong, Queensland. He enlisted in 1917 on the 25th of April and he embarked from Sydney, New South Wales, on board HMAT A18 Wiltshire on the 31 August 1917. His next movements are unclear as some documents state that he went straight to the 14th Australian General Hospital but some say that he transferred there from an unstated unit. Herbert Adams returned to Australia on the 29th of July 1919. Documents do not state when or how he died or where he is buried.
