Under their commander, Colonel Huseyin Avni Bey, the Turkish 57th Infantry Regiment bore the brunt of the Australian landing assault on 25 April 1915, and here Lieutenant-Colonel Mustafa Kemal, commanding the 19th Infantry Division, first showed his outstanding leadership qualities. This important memorial area was constructed in 1992 to honor the soldiers who lost their lives that day and by the commander who went on to establish the New Turkish Republic.
The 57th Regiment was also heavily engaged in the Turkish counter-attack of 19 May and fought with great determination. Six new year junior officers were assigned to the 3rd battalion which opposed Pope's Hill (qv) the day before. At the end of the 19th five of them lay dead on their home parapet, killed as they jumped out an example to their troops. In all Zeki Bey estimated that 10,000 Turks were killed or wounded in the attack, reducing the defenders to three Divisions and that by 4 August the 57th had spent forty-five continuous days in the line at German Officers' Ridge (qv).
From the car park a number of sites can be visited:

Large Turkish Soldier Statue, Turk Askerine Saygi Aniti ('Respect to the Turkish Soldier'). This statue of an infantryman was sculptures by Tankut Oktem and erected in 1992. Across the road is the Statue of Turkish Veteran and Child. This depicts Huseyin Kacmaz, who died on 10 September 1994, at the age of 108, the oldest Turkish veteran, with his grand-daughter.
Outdoor Mosque and fountain.
Bass Relief Panel of Kemal Ataturk and the 57th Regiment charging on 25 April.
Symbolic Cemetery with the plaques bearing the names of martyrs of the 57th Regiment and, incorporated in its north wall, a tall memorial.
Memorial Tablets, to which English translations on marble tablets were added in 1998.

The Cemetery complex, built on the area known as 'The Chessboard' because of the way trenches criss-crossed over it, at the seven ends of Sword Spur (Kilicbayiri) and Mortar Ridge (Edirne Sirti), was designed by architect Nejat Dincel. It is built mainly of Kevsir stone. It was originally opened on 12 December 1992 by the Turkish Minister of Culture. During its building the remains of two soldiers were found lying side by side with their pistols and flasks. They were identified by their name tags as captain L. J. Walters ('Woiters' in Turkish version), of the 'British Army Corps', and 1st Lieutenant Mustafa Asim Bey, commander of 6 Company, 57th Infantry Regiment. They were buried together at the top of the cemetery under a plaque. According to the Peace Park Catalogue (qv), the ceremony was held 'in the presence of both relatives', invited by the Turkish Minister of Culture. No trace, however, can be found in a CWGC records of Captain L. J. Walters. There are 50 burials/commemorations under the name 'Walters' for 1915. Only two of these are officers and both died on the Western Front. However, there is a Lieutenant Leslie John Waters, 15th AIF, killed on 27 April, who is buried in Quinn's Post Cemetery.
As well as quotations from Atatürk, there are marble plaques with quotations from General Birdwood and other distinguished Australians.
