The monument was built at the top of Yusufçuktepe, on the side of the road connecting Suvla Bay, Anafartalar Plain and Mestantepe to Küçük Anafarta village. Foreign forces named this hill, which the 16th Turkish Corps Deputy Commander Colonel Kannengiesser called Yusufçuktepe, Scimitar Hill (Pala Hill). The reason why they gave it this name is that they compared this scythe-shaped elevation with yellow stones and gravel to a Gurkha dagger or an old Turkish scimitar. The monument consists of three stone-covered epitaphs, and starting from the epitaph in the south, the following information is given: "The enemy forces, which landed at Anafartalar Pier on August 7, 1915 in order to surround the Turkish Forces on the Arıburnu Front, advanced as far as İsmailoğlu and Yusufçuk Hills in the face of weak surveillance units." Turkish Forces under the command of Anafartalar Group Commander Colonel Mustafa Kemal defeated the enemy forces in the First Battle of Anafartalar on  August 9, 1915 and drove them back to Kireçtepe and Mestantepe lines. At the end of the Second Battle of Anafartalar on August 21, 1915, the enemy's offensive power was defeated on the Sivritepe and Mestantepe lines. In these battles, the Turks lost 8,155 men and the enemy lost 19,850.
