            Gallipoli, Buyuk Anafarta, New Turkish memorial
BÜYÜK ANAFARTA KÖY MEZARLIĞI ANITI

On this memorial built in 2005, the names of 749 Turkish soldiers are commemorated on marbel panels inside the cemetery. The names of the fallen listed not only include soldiers known to be buried in the village cemetery but in other cemeteries in the area.  Apart from those who were buried around Asmalıdere and the site of the Büyük Anafartalar Military hospital,  the walls  commemorate those who lie in Ismailoğlu Hill and Çamlı Tekke cemeteries.

"Gallipoli Battlefield Guide", (Istanbul 2006), Gürsel Göncü & Şahin Aldoğan, p. 136

When Turkish people were being resettled in the new, trouble-torn republic of the 1920s, some families came to the isolated and beautiful northern reaches of the peninsula in European Turkey, which had been known to British Great War soldiers as Gallipoli. They renamed these northern shores ”Kemikli Burnu”, the bone-strewn headland.  The pitiful pieces of debris that they found there were the partially buried remains of thousand of British and Turkish troops who had perished during the ill-fated military landings at SuvlaBay, which began in August 1915.
