This memorial commemorates the Ottoman soldiers who fell in the fighting for Lone Pine. Text on the monument:

"The Anzac Corps attacked to keep the Turkish forces in place on the Arıburnu Front, which was defended by the 19th and 16th Divisions, in order to facilitate the achievement of the 9th British Corps, which landed in the Anafartalar Region on 6-7 August 1915. Despite the fact that the 16th Division lost 1520 martyrs and 4750 wounded in the fierce battles, they heroically defended Kanlısırt."
