Yes indeed, I saw a bullethole on the righthand side of my jacket.  Next to me was Nuri Bey (an officer) : “Sir, you’ve been hit”, he said. I realised that if this “news” would spread it would have a disasteous effect on the moral of our soldiers and therefore I immediately put my hand over the officer’s mouth with my hand and said : “Be quiet !!”.

... Historically speaking however, this cannot possibly be the spot were this event took place.  It would have been suicidal for Mustafa Kemal to have been standing at this point during the attack as he would have been completely  exposed to enemy fire.  The actual event took place on the south eastern slope of Chunuk Bair, on the Kördere slope (Blind Valley) some 60 to 70 metres from the summit.
