John Knox Adams of McPherson St, Essendon, was an enthusiastic AIF recruit of 22 years when he enlisted at the outbreak of the war in 1914. He worked as a grocer in Sydney Rd, Brunswick, and was a keen baseballer and cricketer on weekends.
John Adams stepped ashore at Gallipoli on 25 April and no-one was able to say what became of him after that. Probably those who knew were also missing.
Rod Martin tells the story of this young man's appointment with fate on The Empire Called website.
