Major-General Sir Allan Henry Shafto Adair: A Distinguished Military Career

Allan Adair's military journey began during the First World War when he joined the British Army and received his commission as a probationary second lieutenant in the 5th (Reserve) Battalion of the Grenadier Guards in May 1916. Remarkably, this regiment had historical significance for his family, as an ancestor had served with them during the Battle of Waterloo.
