| Skew Bridge Cemetery is 2
kilometres north-east of Seddulbahir (formerly Seddel-Bahr),
between the road to Krithia and Kilid Bahr.
Skew Bridge Cemetery was named from a
wooden "skew" bridge carrying the Krithia road across the
Dere, just behind the centre of the line occupied by the
Allied forces on 27 April 1915. It was begun during the
fighting of 6-8 May and used throughout the occupation. At
the Armistice it contained only 53 graves but was greatly
enlarged when further burials were brought in from the
battlefields or small burial grounds in the area. |
