The Nek Cemetery

The Nek Cemetery

THE NEK CEMETERY (326 burials) and BABY 700 CEMETERY (493 burials) were both made after the armistice and nearly all the dead were unidentified, although the majority of them would be Anzacs, many of them of the Third Australian Light Horse Brigade killed on 7 August. The Nek is the track along the top of the spur running up to Baby 700 – a hill so named in contrast to the larger Battleship Hill known as Big 700.
