Description
An awkward corner near north east limit of our advance. Turks held up part of 4th Australian Infantry Brigade, here for a short time on 7 July 1915. Two Turks in particular were noticed having sniping duel with one Australian. An officer who saw them came back afterwards to see the result. The Australian was shot dead through the head. He had no identity disc but in his hand was a bit of paper and on it written "Private Savoff, 14th Battalion." The officer had him buried.
