Attesting into the 147th (Grey) Battalion, in Meaford, on December 30th, 1915, Adam, the son of a doctor, was a clerk by trade.
The 147th BN became part of the 8th Reserve Battalion in January 1917. Adam was subsequently assigned to the 4th CMR, joining them in the field on May 12th, 1917.
Adam apparently survived the war without notable incident or injury.
