Wimereux Communal Cemetery is the final resting place of Canadian John McCrae the author of "In Flanders Fields". A plaque commemorating his life has been erected in the cemetery by the Ontario government.

He died from influenza early in 1918 in the hospital in which Ada was treated in November of the same year for the same illness.

The cemetery is unusual in that all the headstones lie flat to the ground, because of the nature of the soil. It was being refurbished at the time of our visit.

70 Rue Gambetta (Hotel du Globe) in Boulogne-sur-Mer is where one of the SA hostels was located. The area has since been redeveloped and no traces of the building remain. This is possibly as a result of severe damage during the Second War.

The old town looks much as it did in Ada's postcards.

The address where Ada's formal portrait was taken by Caron in 1919 remains but is now part of a much newer building.
