| Baby 700 Cemetery is
located on the road to Chunuk Bair, on the ridge which runs
north-east from Brighton Beach.
Baby 700 was the name given to a hill, part of the Sari Bair
range, connecting Russell's Top, by way of the Nek, with
Battleship Hill (Big 700). It was the objective of the 3rd
Australian Brigade on 25 April and was occupied early in the
morning by parties of the 11th and 12th Battalions. They
were joined by part of the Auckland Infantry Battalion
later, but in the afternoon they were driven off the hill.
It was the objective of other attacks, particularly in May
and August, but it was never again reached. Baby 700
Cemetery was made after the Armistice. |
