We made our way up the escarpment and stopped at a few more memorial cemeteries. The cemeteries were really well maintained and very nicely done. It was really sad to see all the names and ages of the dead soldiers though. We were lucky as we only saw one group of people at the cemetery and we still managed to have it to ourselves for some of the time. We also went to look at the trenches where the Turkish troops set up their defences at the top of the ridges. As we were walking through the trenches a Turkish family joined us and we had a lovely conversation with them. It made it a much richer experience being able to speak to that family as we got a different perspective.
