The memorial is located at a distance of 800 m to the west of Achi Baba Village inside the Gully Ravine Valley and on the right side of the road to the Nuri Yamut Memorial. A statue of two soldiers (one wounded and the other carrying him) built by Prof. Dr. Tankut Öktem is positioned on the right side of the memorial’s entrance. The poem called My Blessed Martyr is inscribed thereon. The following is inscribed on a façade of the memorial situated in the midst of the martyrs’ cemetery: Who then can dig the grave wide enough to hold you and your story? If we try to consign you to history, you will not fit! while on the other side are the following inscriptions: Oh martyr, son of the martyr, do not ask me about the grave: The prophet awaits you now, his arms flung wide open, to save. On the other side is the following inscription: I don’t order you to fight, I order you to die. In the time it takes us to die, other troops and commanders can come and take our places. Mustafa Kemal. The following verses of the poem “Whose land is this?” by the poet Orhan Şaik Gökyay are inscribed on the monolith: This is the land of those/ Standing like mountain ranges in black bosom of the soil / Of those self-sacrificing themselves to the motherland/ Throughout a long history / Of those soldierly shot in the breast / Like floods rushing forward / Of those going inside the black earth/ Like entering a garden of roses. On the other side of the monolith is the following inscription by Mehmet Akif Ersoy: “Outstretched he lies there, shot right through his spotless brow / For this Crescent O Lord, what suns are setting now / Soldier, for this earth’s sake fallen to the dust / If your heavenly forbears kissed your brow, twere just”.

Three hundred and eighty-five Turkish martyrs (385 headstones) are interred at the memorial built in 1945 in memory of the soldiers martyred at the Battles of 28 June-5 July and dressing stations of the battalion. Following the restoration by the Ministry of Culture in 1992, the latest restoration was done in 2013. Though marked as a field hospital, the region was used as Gully Ravine Dressing Station during the battles and remained under heavy bombardment on June 28, 1915. This is the reason for the high number of casualties in the region. The memorial, an original grave of martyrs, was marked in die plate no. 36 of the Şevki Pasha map of 1916.

On the Name “Mehmet” 
Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal, 19th Division and Maydos Region ordered to reward Sergeant Mehmet from Biga who was wounded while attacking the enemy with stones, since his rifle misfired during the landing at Sedd el Bahr region on March 4th. The heroic behavior of Sergeant Mehmet was soon heard and appreciated by everyone. ‘Mehmet’ has been used to refer to the ‘Turkish’ soldier ever since that event.
