Description

Anzac sector. A rise on Gun Ridge (3rd Ridge) where Kemal Ataturk established his headquarters on 25th April. The place got its name from the vegetation on it, the Turks call it Kemalyeri (Kemal's Place). On 25th April, two small Australian groups got as far as the 3rd Ridge, but were then driven back. This was the furthest point reached inland by any Australian unit.
