Eceabat District, Çanakkale Province

The Doughty-Wylie Grave, marked by a standard Gallipoli marker, is located on the top of Hill 141, also known as Doughty Wylie or Fort Hill. The site is situated on the road from Seddulbahir to 'W' Beach.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Hotham Montagu Doughty-Wylie, V. C., C. B., C. M. G., died on 26th April 1915 during the initial landings by Allied forces on Cape Helles as a result of which he was awarded a posthumus VC. His citation which was published in the London Gazette on 23rd June 1915 reads: 'On 26th April 1915 subsequent to a landing having been effected on the beach at a point on the Gallipoli Peninsula, during which both Brigadier-General and Brigade Major had been killed, Lieutenant- Colonel Doughty-Wylie and Captain Walford organised and led an attack through and on both sides of the village of Sedd el Bahr on the Old Castle at the top of the hill inland. The enemy`s position was very strongly held and entrenched, and defended with concealed machine-guns and pom-poms. It was mainly due to the initiative, skill and great gallantry of these two officers that the attack was a complete success. Both were killed in the moment of victory.'
