The 57th Infantry Regiment was one of the most famous units to serve in the campaign. On the first day of the land battles, Mustafa Kemal gave the men of the regiment the order: "I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. During the time before we die other forces and commanders will take our place." From the lowest private to the regiment's commander all of those who received this order died during the campaign. The monument and representational cemetery commemorate the 57th Regiment. In the grounds of the memorial there is a statue commemorating the last Turkish veteran of the campaign, who died at the age of 110 in 1994. Other locations on our ANZAC Day Gallipoli tour are:
