Chunuk Bair (New Zealand Memorial)
The main memorial to New Zealand's involvement in the Great War's Gallipoli Campaign stands at Chunuk Bair, on Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey.
Captured briefly by New Zealand troops, it offered strategic views over the Dardanelles.
Fierce fighting and heavy losses marked this ridge, now home to New Zealand Memorial and Turkish monuments. The memorial serves to demonstrate the bravery and sacrifice of New Zealand soldiers who fought in the campaign.
Surrounded by silence and sweeping views, Chunuk Bair remains a place of heroism, sacrifice, and national remembrance.
