Matthew Adam 15th Squadron RAF killed France 7 August 1918

I would like to try and find out a bit more detail of a relative who died in WW1 in 1918 seeming having moved from the Royal Scots Fusiliers to the newly formed RAF. He had already received an MC for in 1917 for

"2nd Lt. Matthew Adam, R. Sco. Fus., attd.
R. War. E.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty. He laid a most important wire and
maintained communications in spite of heavy
machine-gun and rifle fire, thereby rendering
a most valuable service."

He is buried in Fienvillers British Cemetery and the entry for him on the CWGC contains the following -

Name: ADAM, MATTHEW
Rank: Lieutenant
Regiment/Service: Royal Air Force
Unit Text: 15th Sqdn.
Age: 25
Date of Death: 07/08/1918
Awards: M C

Can anyone give me some pointers as to where I may find further detail and what the chances are?

All the best
