Miss Ada Moreton was born in Stoke Damarel, Devon, in 1878, the daughter of Engineer J. F. Moreton, R.N., and served during the Great War as a Staff Nurse with Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service in India. She died of Cholera in Bombay on 7 September 1916, and is buried in Bombay (Sewri) Cemetery. Owing to the fact that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission found it impossible to maintain the many burials in a large number of different and often remote cemeteries in India, she is formally commemorated on the Kirkee Memorial, India.
