This cemetery takes its name from 15th Battalion “C” Company Commander Major Hugh Quinn, and was intensely bombarded during the battle. The Turkish name of the location is “Bomba Sırtı”.

Constructed in 1919 and situated over the trenches and tunnels at the south part of the outpost, it is located on the western part of the road extending through the second ridge. The cemetery has a length of 36.6 m and covers an area of 715 m², narrowing to 23.8 m at the north and 12.8 m at the south. Interred at this cemetery are 105 Australians, 10 New Zealanders and 294 unknown soldiers. Apart from these soldiers, the monolith names 60 Australians, 3 New Zealanders and 1 British seaman, providing evidence of their burial here. Pope’s Hill cemetery, named after Lt. Col. (subsequently Col.) H. Pope, was merged with Quinn’s Post Cemetery after the Armistice.

The impression which that scene from the ridge by Quinn’s Post made on my mind has obliterated all the rest of the time at Anzac. I cannot recall a single incident. I know only that nothing could cleanse the smell of death from the nostrils for a fortnight afterwards”
