57th Infantry Regiment Turkish Cemetery

The 57th Infantry Regiment Martyrs’ Cemetery, located near Baby 700 on the Gallipoli Peninsula, commemorates Ottoman soldiers who heroically resisted the ANZAC landings on April 25, 1915. Established in 1992, the site includes a three-story memorial tower, symbolic graves, an open-air prayer space (namazgah), and a traditional fountain. A prominent statue of Hüseyin Kaçmaz, Turkey’s last Gallipoli veteran, with his granddaughter symbolizes the intergenerational legacy of remembrance. The cemetery honors the valor and sacrifice of the 57th Regiment during World War I.
