Courtney's Post, towards the northern end
of the original Anzac line, was named from Lieut-Colonel R E
Courtney, CB, VD, who brought the 14th Australian Infantry
Battalion to it on 27 April 1915. Steel's Post was next to
it on the south-west. Although named after Major T H
Steel, 14th Battalion, this post was officially designated
"Steele's Post". Both these positions were occupied on 25
April 1915 and held until the evacuation in December. |
