Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial

Address: Chunuk Bair Memorial, Gallipoli Peninsula, 17900 Eceabat/Çanakkale, Turkey.

The Chunuk Bair New Zealand Memorial, located on the Gallipoli Peninsula, stands as a tribute to the New Zealand soldiers who fought bravely during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. This ridge was the site of a fierce battle in August 1915, where New Zealand forces briefly captured this strategic high point. The memorial features an obelisk and statues that commemorate the courage and sacrifices of the soldiers. Today, the site offers stunning views of the Dardanelles and serves as a solemn place of remembrance and reflection for visitors.
