From the Balliol College War Memorial Book, Volume 1 - Arthur Adam Innes

ARTHUR ADAM was born at Cambridge on April 25, 1894. Alike from his father Dr. James Adam, the distinguished Platonic scholar and Tutor of Emmanuel, and from his mother, a Classical Lecturer at Girton, he inherited the tradition of classical scholarship. As a boy of three he used to read Job and Jeremiah on the nursery sofa, and in July 1907, when he was elected to the senior scholarship at Winchester, the examiners noted that he “showed remarkable classical ability.” His Winchester days brought him many prizes, culminating in the Goddard Scholarship in July 1912. He came to Balliol in October of that year as the first Classical Scholar, and at the end of his first term was awarded the Warner Exhibition: in March 1914 he obtained his first in Honour Moderations, and had already made a most promising start in Greats when the war broke out.

In September he was commissioned as 2nd Lieut. In the 1st Cambridgeshire Regiment. He had great fears that his eye- sight would not be good enough for Foreign Service, but he was passed in May 1915, and went to France in June to join the 1st Battalion. He was at first near Armentières and moved to the Somme in September: after a period the First Army Training School he returned to his battalion as Temporary Captain in February 1916. On September 3rd he took part in the battle near Hamel, and on the night of September 15 was reported wounded and missing or captured. No further news was ever received and it is presumed that he was killed that night.

At Balliol he was a conspicuous figure, the life and soul of his circle. Thin and wiry, with a head of exceptionally fair hair, sharp features and a rather high-pitched voice he seemed naturally to attract nick-names to his friends he was “The Mouse,” to the irreverent spirits of the Boys’ Club “Scare- crow,” and afterwards to his company “Parson Snowy” each name appropriate enough. Though he was above average as a as a classical scholar, he was never a pedant, and had quite the finer touch in composition which wins University scholarships. The classics were always literature to him, and with a deep love of Homer and Plato and Pindar he united a certain impatience of pedantic analysis. His mind was intensely versatile, and his thinking full of vitality and always connected with action. He spoke often in the Union and was deeply interested in the "social problem,” but showed his interest not so much in theorizing as in the practical work of the Boys’ Club, where he was always a favourite and had a great influence on the boys. His real passion was music he was a good amateur violinist and an enthusiastic member of the Bath Choir, but he was just as much at home at the old piano in the Boys’ Club, trying to teach an unruly audience songs from Gaudeamus. His eyesight prevented him from taking much part in games or athletics, but he was devoted to the country and loved nothing better than his rambles on reading—parties in Somerset and Wales. It was perhaps in this spirit as well as from a high sense of duty that he joined the Cavalry Squadron of the O.T.C.

The impression left by Arthur Adam on his contemporaries is one of intense vitality: he was always alert and his ready and whimsical wit and his high laugh were infectious. Below this, as his friends knew, was a deep and serious outlook on life, and an eager desire to help his generation. To them he was unique, and the impression could hardly be better summed up than in a sentence from the letter of a friend who came across him in France: “In October I met the one and only Adam at Abbeville; he was lost in his uniform and George Meredith.”

SMITH, Major William Hammond, 52nd Brigade, R.F.A. Killed in action at Athies, near Roeux, in the battles of Arras, April 12th,1917, aged 31. At the school 1899-1900 ( School House )

Capt. W.H. Smith was the third son of the late master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and Mrs Charles Smith, of Belvoir Terrace, Cambridge. He was only at Tonbridge for a year, from September 1899 to July 1900, when he left from the lower fifth and went to Blundells school, Tiverton. He went up to Sidney in 1904 with an Open Classical Exhibition, and also gained a College Exhibition and graduated in 1907,taking a 1st Div., Second class, in the Classical Tripos. Both at school and at college he was a keen athlete and gained his oar in the college boat in which he rowed 7, in June, 1905.

He became an artist by profession and was regarded as an exceedingly promising painter. One of his works, a portrait, is in the Guildhall at Cambridge.

On the outbreak of war he at once applied for a commission through the university O.T.C., and was gazetted to a temporary commission in the R.F.A., August 26th,1914.

After eight months training he went to the front and was through much of the heaviest fighting, was promoted Temporary Lieutenant September 12th, 1915, and was twice mentioned in Despatches, in January, 1916, and in January, 1917.

In 1915 he served at Festubert and elsewhere in the La Basse Sector, and then opposite the Hohenzollern Redoubt before and during the Battle of Loos, which began on September 25th. His battery was then transferred to the Ypres Sector, where they experienced severe fighting, especially opposite Hill "60".

In 1916 they suffered heavily in the neighbourhood of Montauban in the battle of Albert, the first of the battles of the Somme, and after a rest took part in the battles of the Le Transloy Ridges and of the Ancre Heights in October and November. In December, they were in the Arras Sector.

He had been for most of 1916 in command of the battery, and in December, 1916, though suffering from bronchitis, refused to go to the hospital till they were out of action. He had been detailed for a special course in gunnery, and having with difficulty obtained his discharge from hospital arrived home on Christmas Eve.

On completing this course he returned to the front, and had been acting Major in command of the battery for some time. On April 12th, 1917, towards the end of the first battle of the Scarpe in the battle of Arras, 1917, he was watching an attack and directing his battery from an observation post at Athies, near Roeux, when a large German shell burst close by and a splinter entered his head rendering him immediately unconscious, and he died before reaching the Dressing Station. He was buried ear Athies.

His Colonel wrote :- "I feel his loss very keenly, not only as the loss of a capable officer, but as the loss of a friend whose charming manners had endeared him to all of us, officers and men. No one could have thought less of personal danger than he did, and I cannot help wishing that he had been a little more careful of himself, even at the expense of the observation he was engaged in, for he had been exposing himself fearlessly in an attempt to locate the position reached by our infantry, and this undoubtedly drew the fire which was the cause of his death".

The following appeared in the Cambridge local paper :- "His death will be deeply regretted by a wide circle of friends at Cambridge and elsewhere, for he was a man of a lovable disposition, combined with high intellectual attainments and lofty ideals".
