Details
Chunuk Bair
 
Chunuk Bair Cemetery is on the ridge which runs north-east from Brighton Beach.
It lies on a very severe slope approximately one metre below the road level, which is accessed down a flight of steps.

Chunuk Bair
was one of the main objectives in the Battle of Sari Bair, fought 6-10 August 1915.
CHUNUK BAIR CEMETERY was made after the Armistice on the site where the Turks had buried some of those Commonwealth soldiers who were killed on 6-8 August.
There are now 632 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried in this cemetery. Only ten of the burials are identified.
The cemetery also contains the CHUNUK BAIR (NEW ZEALAND) MEMORIAL, one of four memorials erected to commemorate New Zealand soldiers who died on the Gallipoli peninsula and whose graves are not known. This memorial relates to the Battle of Sari Bair and in other operations in this sector. It bears more than 850 names.
