Genealogical information

Adams (birth registered first ¼ 1937 in Leeds North district). Leslie Adams was the uncle of the rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s for Leeds and Bramley, Philip Adams (born {{circa|1944}}).

Death

Juicy Adams became a landlord in Leeds, and subsequently volunteered for war duty with the Royal Air Force, becoming a rear gunner. He was killed in action in January 1945, when the Liberator B Mk V in which he was flying came down 40-miles south-west of Rangoon, Burma. Of the nine men on the plane, three of the occupants, including Juicy Adams, are believed to have bailed out, and then drowned. The remaining six men were captured, the 2 officers were separated from the Flight Sergeants and sent to Rangoon Jail, where they survived, and the Flight Sergeants were beheaded by the Japanese Military on 7 February 1945, and are buried in the Taukkyan War Cemetery. After the war the Japanese military officers responsible for the execution were tried for war crimes, and were subsequently executed. Despite numerous searches of the area around the crash site, and discussions with villagers who found the plane, no trace of the body of Juicy Adams, or his colleagues, has been found.[14]

Honoured at Castleford Tigers

Juicy Adams is a Tigers Hall Of Fame Inductee.[15]
