ANZAC Cove: ANZAC Cove is one of the small cove in north side of the Gallipoli Peninsula. It became a well known cove during and after the World War I. Because ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) was landed to this cove on April 25th 1915. The ANZAC cove is nearly 600m. long. From the first day of the war North Beach was the port of ANZACs. ANZAC Cove beach became the main supply for the Australian and New Zealand troops for the eight months of the battle.

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.

57th Regiment: On the day of the landings on 25 April, the Anzacs were slowly advancing towards their targets, the Third Ridge and Chunuk Bair. Turkish forces were coming up from the opposite direction. During the advance of the Turksh 57th Regiment, its mountain battery, positioned in the “waterbed” area, was firing accurately on the Australians holding Baby 700, and the 57th Regiment managed to push back those advancing on Battleship Hill.

It was during the to-and-fro battle on the Second Ridge that the Turkish commander, Mustafa Kemal, pronounced his now famous order: “I do not order you to attack, I order you to die! In the time which passes until we die, other troops and commanders can take our place.”

Lone Pine: Lone pine was a strategically important plateau in the south of ANZAC Cove. It was attacked by the Australians during the First World War between 6th and 10th of August in 1915 against the Sari Bair peaks of Chunuk Bair and Hill 971. The Lone Pine battlefield, named for a solitary Turkish Pine that stood there at the begining of the war, was situated about the centre of the eastern line of the ANZAC trenches.
