Description

Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey. November 1915. Sari Bair Range, from Chunuk Bair to Baby 700. The last named point is on the extreme left. Chunuk Bair is further to the left and out of view. It was into this confused country that the main attack of 6 August 1915 to 10 August 1915, was made. During the night of 6 and 7 August, New Zealand Mounted Rifles had to clear the Turks out of all the foothills. At dawn the next day attacks were to begin on the main summits.
