Pink
Farm Cemetery is south west of the Redoubt on the road from
Sedd el Bahr to Geoghegan's Bluff. |
Pink Farm (properly Sotiri Farm) took its name
from the red soil of the area. The three cemeteries which grew up
around the farm were combined after the Armistice on the site of Pink
Farm Cemetery No 3, and this cemetery was further enlarged when graves
were brought in from other small burial grounds in the vicinity.
There are now 602 servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated
in this cemetery. 250 of the burials are unidentified, but special
memorials commemorate 219 casualties known or believed to be buried
among them.
