Summary
DescriptionLieutenant Tom Edwin Adlam.jpg |
7 Battalion, Bedfordshire Regiment Lieutenant Adlam was awarded the Victoria Cross during the Battle of the Somme for the following action: "On 27 September 1916 at Thiepval, France, a portion of a village which had defied capture had to be taken at all costs and Second Lieutenant Adlam rushed from shell-hole to shell-hole under very heavy fire collecting men for a sudden rush. "At this stage he was wounded in the leg but in spite of his wound he led the rush, captured the position and killed the occupants. Throughout the day he continued to lead his men and on the following day, although wounded again he still led and encouraged them." Adlam survived the First World War and, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel, went on to serve with the Royal Engineers during the Second World War.
