Redoubt Cemetery is on the west side of the Krithia-Seddel Bahr road, south-west of "The Vineyards", 100 metres along a track flanked by pine trees. It faces south to the entrance of the Dardanelles.

Redoubt Cemetery takes its name from the chain of forts made by the Turks across the southern end of the peninsula in the fighting for Krithia and the Redoubt Line on which the advance halted in May. The cemetery was begun by the 2nd Australian Infantry Brigade in May 1915 and continued in use until the evacuation. It was greatly increased after the Armistice when the battlefields were cleared and graves were brought in from small cemeteries in the vicinity.
