| The cemetery is on low
ground, close under the shelter of a hill between Chailak
Dere and Aghyl Dere. It is about 190 metres east of the
Anzac-Suvla road. The cemetery
was named from the 7th Australian Field Ambulance, which
landed on Gallipoli in September 1915, but over 300 of the
graves were brought in from earlier cemeteries after the
Armistice. These smaller burial grounds were known as
Bedford Ridge, West Ham Gully, Waldron's Point, Essex, Aghyl
Dere, Eastern Mounted Brigade, Suffolk, Hampshire Lane Nos.
1 and 2, Australia Valley, 116th Essex, 1/8th Hants,
Norfolk, Junction, and 1/4th Northants. |
