With our & Campbell College thanks to Tim Hobson of Victoria, Australia.
Tim came across this beautiful little Campbell College Sports Cup in his parents' house in Victoria and was in touch earlier this month.
Tim's Mum was friendly with Mrs Adams and he wondered "perhaps Mr Adams was a soldier settler at Lake Boga after the first War?"
Thank you Tim for returning this to Campbell College.
As per the CCB Register: "1214. ADAMS, Edward Campbell, Price's. b 13.1.1901 Son of Alexander M Adams, Glendara, Sans Souci Park, Belfast. IV, December 1915. 1st XI 1915. Linen Trade. In Australia"
& obviously good at long jump!!!
We will refer this to the College's resident historians.
Do you know any more about this Adams family?
Did you win at long jump whilst you were at CCB?
