New Zealand National Memorial is the most noteworthy of the New Zealand memorials in the Peninsula. This memorial was designed by New Zealand Architect S. Hurst Seager as a tall, narrowing stone pylon. It was built in 1925 on the Chunuk Bair Hill by the CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission). The memorial has a height of 20.5 m. A small chapel may be accessed through the gate in front of the New Zealand Memorial. A huge cross was built over this gate in a stone relief form. Resembling Lone Pine Memorial, the memorial is a polygonal and ashlar in the form of a belfry.

The New Zealand National Memorial is the largest New Zealand Memorial in the peninsula and was built in memory of August 8, 1915. The following is inscribed on the Memorial: “From the uttermost ends of the earth. In memory of the NZEF”. During the August battles, the New Zealand troops attacking Chunuk Bair occupied all of Sazlı Beit Dere. The Wellington Battalion 
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William Malone fought on the front line during the August Battles on August 8, and suffered heavy losses. Malone was killed that day by a shell blast and became a national hero of New Zealand after the war. Every year on April 25, New Zealanders organize commemorative ceremonies on occasion of Anzac Day in Chunuk Bair. The New Zealand Cemetery is located 20 m east of the main memorial. It was constructed on the eastern slopes of Chunuk BairHill 971 across from the Cemetery. The names of 856 soldiers are recorded on the low stone wall. These are the NZEF (New Zealand Expeditionary Force) soldiers who died in the attacks of December and whose names are not mentioned in any other place. Following the battle of August 1915, Turkish soldiers buried New Zealand, British and Gurkha troops. These graves form the base of the current cemetery. The main New Zealand trench is located south of the peak and several observation posts were installed around the currently used cemetery.

The cemetery can be accessed through the ridge from the main road, and proceeds through steep slopes up the hill. The grave has a length of 29 m and width of 36.5 m and extends to a width of 40 m at the base. Only one range of the 9 graves located in parallel to the road is stoneclad. The names of the 856 unknown officers and enlisted men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, who died in 1915 and whose graves are not known, are inscribed on the Memorial: 
“In memory of the officers and soldiers of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who lost their lives on 6th-10th August 1915, at the heroic attack on Sari Bair Hills, capture of Chunuk Bair and the battles that lasted from August 1915 to December 1915….”
