| Walker's Ridge Cemetery
is 250 metres along a level track from the road, north of
Lone Pine on the road to Hill 60, almost due east of Anzac
Cove. On 25 April, Walker's
Ridge was the post of command of Brigadier-General Walker,
then commanding the New Zealand Infantry Brigade. It was
held by a mixed force until 27 April, when the New
Zealanders took it over. A Turkish attempt to take the ridge
on 30 June was repulsed by the 8th and 9th Australian Light
Horse. The cemetery was made during the occupation and
consists of two plots separated by 18 metres of ground,
through which a trench ran. |
