The cemetery's name, "Adanac," was formed by reversing the letters of "Canada" to honor the 1,078 Canadians buried there.
There are now 3,187 Commonwealth and First World War commemorative graves in this cemetery, of which 1,709 are unidentified: 1,989 British, 1,074 Canadian, 70 New Zealand, 56 Australian, and 1 German.
The village of Miraumont was occupied by British troops on February 24 and 25, 1917, following the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line. The village, recaptured by the Germans on March 25, 1918, was finally captured by the 42nd (East Lancashire) Division on August 24.
