The Farm Cemetery

Audio Guide

This cemetery is located on Rhododendron Ridge where New Zealand troops observed Chunuk Bair. The cemetery can be accessed via the walkway of the Chunuk trenches. The Allies named this area Rhododendron Ridge, most likely because of the rhododendrons that were growing there at the time. The Farm takes its name from a farm located nearby.  

The cemetery with a non-geometric shape was built after 1919 and covers an area of 860 m². The graves of 11 unknown British soldiers and 634 unidentified graves are found inside the cemetery. A special monument was erected in memory of the 6 British and 1 New Zealand soldier believed to have died there.
