Ariburnu: The cemetery is situated in the north edge of ANZAC Bay, on the left, at the sea side where soldiers landed from the North area on the first landing day. Until 2000, Ariburnu Cemetery has been the site of the ANZAC Day Dawn Service. The cemetery was begun during the campaign. Shell Green: Shell Green Cemetery is a War Graves Commission Cemetery from first World War in the former ANZAC sector of the Peninsula. Shell Green Cemetery overlooking the Aegean Sea with hundreds of crosses visible in the midground. The cemetery is on a former cottonfield at the edge of a steep slope leading from Bolton's Ridge to the sea, near the Southern end of the ANZAC sector. The area was captured by the 8th Australian Infantry on 25 April 1915 but remained sufficiently near to the front line for the rest of the campaign to suffer frequent Turkish shelling. It had been used until December 1915. The evacuation of the ANZAC sector, many of the graves had become elaborately decorated. Shrapnel Valley: Stretcher-bearers who were going in the bottom of valley and allied soldiers who were carrying ammunition, food and water were each of the evidence of this during the war. Turkish troops who noticed this situation bombarded the area with heavy gun fire. Courtney's and Steele's Post: Courtney's and Steele's Post occupied precarious but critical positions along the lip of Monash Valley, in the heights above Cove. Courtney's Post was named after Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Courtney of the 14th Australian Infantry Battalion who took command on 27 April. Steele's Post, named after Major Thomas Steele. From Steele's and Courtney's Post, several tunnels were pushed out towards the Turkish trenches opposite, and some of these were used in a disastrous attack on German Officer's Trench in the small hours of 7 August 1915. Both posts were initially occupied on 25 April 1915 and held until the final evacuation of the ANZAC position in December 1915. The Nek: The Nek was very important position on the northern edge of the ANZAC front line and the scene of a tragic attack. It was a narrow bridge of land which is between Russell's Top and Baby 700 across the top of Monash Valley. Walker's Ridge: Landscape of Walker's Ridge is looking north. Walker's Ridge is named after Brigadier Harold Bridgwood Walker, commander of the New Zealand Infantry Brigade; the Brigade captured the ridge on the first day of the soldiers landing, April 25th and it was held against a strong Turkish attack on 30 June 1915. |
