Adamson C Y Captain 8th Royal Scots Fusiliers<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Captain and Quartermaster CHARLES YOUNG ADAMSON,<\/p>\n

Northumberland Fusiliers, the second son of J. Adamson, Esq., Durham, was born in 1875, and entered the School as a Day Boy in January, 1887. He played in the XI., of which he was Captain, from 1890 to 1893, and in the XV. from 1890 to 1892. He was a Monitor, and left in 1893. As a cricketer and footballer he represented his County for many years, and played for the North XV. v. the South on three occasions. In 1899 he was a member of the English XV. which toured Australia, and while there joined the Queensland Volunteers, with which force he saw much fighting in the South African War. Subsequently he paid a second visit to Australia, and while there played cricket for Queensland against South Australia.<\/p>\n

When the war broke out Captain Adamson was in partnership with his father as a Stock and Share Broker. He soon obtained a commission as Quartermaster to the 23rd (Tyneside Scottish) Northumberland Fusiliers. At the beginning of 1918 he went to Salonika, and was attached to a Battallion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He was serving with that Regiment when he was killed in action in September, 1918.<\/p>\n

He took the keenest interest in the School football and cricket, and the teams of later generations owed much to his enthusiastic coaching and help.<\/p>\n

Capt. Adamson married Miss Lodge, daughter of the late Rev. J. A. Lodge, Vicar of Haverton Hill, and leaves two sons.<\/p>\n
