Details
The Nek
 
The Nek Cemetery is a short distance north of Quinn's Post. The Nek is the track leading along the narrow spur from Russell's Top to Baby 700, and the cemetery stands on a ridge with Pope's Hill on the south-west and Molane's Gully on the north-west.

The Nek was a narrow track leading from Russell's top to Baby 700 which was reached and passed by the 12th Australian Battalion early on 25 April, but not held. It was attacked by the New Zealand and Australian Division on 2 May, and by the 3rd Australian Light Horse Brigade on the morning of 7 August, but was never retaken.
The cemetery was made after the Armistice in what had been No Man's Land. There are now 326 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in this cemetery. 316 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to five Australian soldiers believed to be buried among them.

Thus D.12 indicates Row D Grave 12.

Special Memorials to officers and men known or believed to be buried in the cemetery are indicated by the letters "Sp.Mem" following the entry, by a capital letter shewing the group and by a number shewing the position in the group. thus "Sp.Mem. B.2" indicates Special Memorial, Group B, Number 2.
In those cemeteries where there is only one group the capital letter is omitted.
