V Beach Cemetery

V BEACH CEMETERY (697 burials) is named after one of the five beaches around the toe of the Peninsula that were used in the Helles landings. The cemetery is right on the beach and was begun on the day after the invasion. Nearby is the solitary grave of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Doughty–Wylie VC CB CMG.
