Then we stoped at a spot lower than the Lone Pine cemetery which we visited the day before... here we climbed a steep path of 200 m down the hill to visit the 4th Battalion cemetery of the ANZACs... here are some photos of the cemetery and a photo of the ANZAC cove down in the shore where you can see another and greater cemetery... this must have been probably the Shrapnel valley... in the following photos the first gravestone belongs to someone who was 18 when he died here... how said it is that you can find plenty of 17-18 years old dead people in both the Turkish and foreign cemeteries... the second gravestone had a very touching inscription... and the third one was of a Jew...

After we climbed up we drove upwards to Chunuk Bair again to visit the rest of the hill top from were we left the day before... here in the photos you can see the big ANZAC Monument and the statue of Kemal Ataturk where he was hit by a bullet at his chest but he was lucky enough that he was only hit at his pocket watch and he himself didn't got wounded... you can also see a photo of the Chunuk Bair cemetery at the eastern side of the hill and the trenches were the soldiers of both sides were hiding... these soldiers where sometimes as close as 25 meters to each other...
