The smallest Anzac cemetery within the boundaries of the peninsula is Plugge’s Plateau Cemetery. The cemetery can be accessed by foot through the steep road starting to the left of the Shrapnel Valley Cemetery. The cemetery is named after the Auckland Battalion Commander, Colonel Arthur Plugge, who built his headquarters at this location. It was important as the supply store of the Anzac troops and the location of drinking water tanks. On April 25, the 27th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 8th Company 2nd Squadron was positioned at the hill named “Hain Tepe” (Treacherous Hill) by Turkish soldiers. The little troop of 80 soldiers commanded by Third Lieutenant Muharrem was the first to open fire against the Allied landing operations, and left the Anzac troops with their first casualties.

Plugge’s Plateau Cemetery is located at the northwest of the plain and across the sea. The rectangular cemetery measures 15 m by 12.8 m covers 81 m² of land. Interred at the cemetery are 21 soldiers: 12 Australians, 8 New Zealanders and 1 unknown.
