There are now 3,186 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War in Adanac Military Cemetery, Miraumont. 1,708 of the burials are unidentified but special memorials commemorate 13 casualties known or believed to be buried among them. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
38 soldiers who served with the Yorkshire Regiment are interred here with known marked graves. There are a number of Yorkshire Regiment soldiers, though, in unidentified graves ("Known Only To God").
