Pvt Adkins was buried in the temporary American GELA Cemetery in grave G-76-904. Date of burial was 14 August 1943. After the war his remains were repatriated and buried in the Roosevelt Memorial Park in Gardena, California.

Over 1,200 men and women were buried in the GELA Cemetery. I am writing a book about the GELA Cemetery, hope to have the book finished next year (2013).
