Its story
This plateau, called Kanlısırt by the Turks and Lone Pine by the Australians, was the scene of extremely bloody hand-to-hand fighting between August 6–10, 1915. Hundreds of soldiers lie in the cemetery maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The central memorial bears the names of Australian and New Zealand soldiers who lost their lives in the Arıburnu (Anzac) area and have no known grave. Nearby is the Turkish side's Kanlısırt Inscription; the two places of remembrance stand side by side on the same hill.
