Hey Folks,

Outstanding research.  At least I know a bit about Adam now.
As I mentioned before, I cleaned up his Gravestone. It looked neglected.

Asthma??? More likely the after effects of Mustard Gas !!!

My mothers father was gassed in WW1. He lived until he was 80, but said that he was dying from the effects of Mustard Gas in 1977 from 1918. He knew because he said he could taste Pineapple when he coughed.

Thanks again for all your hard work

Regards
