Adanac Military Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of World War I located near the French villages of Miraumont, Pys and Courcelette and contains 3,187 interments, 1483 of whom are identified.
The cemetery was formed after the war ended from the consolidation of existing burial sites into a 'concentration cemetery' by consolidating several smaller cemeteries onto the site.
The name 'Adanac' is a reversal of word Canada, the home of over five hundred of the men interred there. The name was necessary because a cemetery near Cambrai that had been established during the war in October 1918 had already received the name "Canada Cemetery".[1]
