“Lt.-Col. Adams Home. After two years’ absence overseas, Lt.-Col. Milton K. Adams reached Picton on Tuesday afternoon of this week looking well after his extended work in military service in England and France. Col. Adams is certainly entitled to a well earned rest. He is one of those who has done his bit from the first and his record is one of which the old county is proud.
At the beginning of the war the Colonel was in charge of the 16th Prince Edward Regiment and at once threw himself into the work of military organization. After a few months he was given a commission as Commanding Officer of the 155th Battalion which was recruited from Hastings and Prince Edward. This battalion went into camp at Kingston in the spring of 1916, going overseas in October. The battalion was broken up and sent to France in drafts, and for some time Col. Adams was in charge of reserve depots in England, going to France in the summer of 1917 where he was area commandant until returning to Canada.”
