The Nek, a narrow ridge on the Gallipoli Peninsula, is known for the tragic and heroic battle that took place on August 7, 1915. During this ill-fated charge, ANZAC forces advanced over open ground into heavy fire from Turkish defenses, resulting in devastating losses. The site remains a haunting reminder of the brutality of war, with trenches and markers preserved to honor the fallen. Today, visitors can walk along the ridge, reflecting on the courage and sacrifices made by the soldiers during one of Gallipoli’s most poignant battles.
