snipers' nest

the first authentic hotel on the Gallipoli peninsula

Northern Anzac sector. Turkish position on a scrubby hill about 1000 metres inland from the sea, half-way down a razor-backed ridge running off Baby 700, from which snipers made the beach north of Ari Burnu unsafe for bathing or traffic. Though shelled by warships and artillery and machine-gunned by the Light Horse from Table Top, the position was held until the evacuation.
