Its story
The 57th Infantry Regiment was one of the units that, on Mustafa Kemal's orders, launched a counterattack after the Anzac landing of April 25, 1915 and halted the advance. The regiment lost most of its men in this fighting and became a symbol of sacrifice. The memorial cemetery near Kanlısırt has symbolic gravestones, a monument and a statue showing Hüseyin Kaçmaz, one of the regiment's last veterans, with his granddaughter. It is one of the most visited stops on the Arıburnu–Conkbayırı route.
