On 6th August, Aussie soldiers charged 60 metres and captured the Turkish trenches. But for 5 days this area witnessed the worst fighting of the campaign. The attack was designed to draw Turkish troops from the Allied landings at Chunuk Bair and Suvla Bay. It resulted in the deaths of 2200 Aussies and 4000 Turks.
