Canadian World War I Memorials & Cemeteries

Adanac Military Cemetery, 1989

This cemetery contains the graves of 1071 Canadians killed in the 1916 Battle of the Somme. The name Adanac is Canada spelled backwards. An 18-year old Piper James Richardson buried here won the Victorial Cross posthumously. He died piping his comrades forward to Regina Trench.
