Frank Dawson Adams was born on 17 Sep 1859 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He died on 26 Dec 1942 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He married Mary Stuart Finley. He was employed as Logan Professor of Geology in McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Frank Dawson Adams specialized in the detailed description and classification of rocks, known as the science of petrography. His revolutionary work on the flow of brittle rocks established him as the founder of modern structural geology. He was a member of the Geological Survey of Canada, and in addition to teaching at McGill for thirty years he served as Dean of Applied Science (1905-19) and acting principal and VP (1919-22).
Adams was also a committed educator. Following the First World War he became deputy director of Khaki University, an innovative Canadian plan to help demobilized troops further their education. In 1938, he published his definitive history of geology The Birth and Development of the Geological Sciences.

Etaples is a town about 27 kilometres south of Boulogne. The Military Cemetery is to the north of the town, on the west side of the road to Boulogne. During the First World War, the area around Etaples was the scene of immense concentrations of Commonwealth reinforcement camps and hospitals. It was remote from attack, except from aircraft, and accessible by railway from both the northern or the southern battlefields. In 1917, 100,000 troops were camped among the sand dunes and the hospitals, which included eleven general, one stationary, four Red Cross hospitals and a convalescent depot, could deal with 22,000 wounded or sick. In September 1919, ten months after the Armistice, three hospitals and the Q.M.A.A.C. convalescent depot remained. The cemetery contains 10,769 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, the earliest dating from May 1915. Hospitals were again stationed at Etaples during the Second World War and the cemetery was used for burials from January 1940 until the evacuation at the end of May 1940. After the war, a number of graves were brought into the cemetery from other French burial grounds. Of the 119 Second World War burials, 38 are unidentified. Etaples Military Cemetery also contains 658 German burials and a few war graves of other nationalities. The cemetery, the largest Commission cemetery in France, was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.M ii Alexander McArthur. F iii Louise McArthur.
