The Cemetery is located on the right side of the 2nd km of the road descending from Alçıtepe (Achi Baba) Village toward the coast. The Redoubt Cemetery stands for the “redoubt fort line” due to the existence of trenches and fortifications to the north. There are 716 British soldiers, 20 Australians, 8 New Zealanders and 1 Indian interred in the cemetery. The remains of 1,281 soldiers could not be identified. The names of 2.027 soldiers are written as epitaphs.

The assaults of the British and French on May 6 and 7 to capture a major hill named Achi Baba (Alçıtepe) by the British, located behind the Alçıtepe (Achi Baba) Village, failed. The New Zealanders joined the assault in the morning of May 8 yet they could not make much headway. The Australians proceeded directly toward the Turkish artillery and rifle fire. More than 1,000 Australians were killed or wounded during this futile assault. The remains of the majority of Australians who lost their lives during this battle could not be found or their identities were not determined. Their names are recorded on the Helles Memorial. Some of these soldiers were interred among several unknown soldiers at the Redoubt Cemetery.

The British and French troops launched the 3rd Battle of Krithia on June 4, 1915. Both sides suffered heavy losses after a violent and extended bombardment. However, the Allies failed to achieve their target of reaching Alçıtepe (Achi Baba). Inside the cemetery, an epitaph of Eric Duckworth is found under a tree planted by his father who came to the region many years after the war. He is reputed to have died while cleaning his weapon on August 7, 1915.
