The campaign group of three awarded to Regimental Quartermaster-Sergeant H. R. Adams, 25th (Frontiersmen) Battalion, Royal Fusiliers, who was 'mentioned' for his service in East Africa in 1918

1914-15 Star (13537 Sjt. H. R. Adams, R. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (13537 W. O. Cl. 2 H. R. Adams, R. Fus.), with M.I.D. oak leaves, good very fine (3)

The unit earned a total of 39 'mentions' during the Great War of which only 27 went to other ranks.

Henry R. Adams joined the 25th (Frontiersmen) Regiment as a Sergeant on 9 March 1915 and entered the war in East Africa on 10 April 1915. He served with them for the bulk of the war, doubtless being present for many of the Regiment's iconic actions and was at some stage advanced Quartermaster Sergeant.

Adams earned his 'mention' just prior to the unit's disbandment in 1918 whereupon he was transferred to the Labour Corps; he was finally discharged due to illness on 6 February 1919; sold together with copied research.
