ÇANAKKALE CITY MONUMENT (57th ALAY)

In the period when the First World War was going on and the war was the hottest, France and England, which had a revolution and alliances in Russia, wanted to help Russia. However, it was not possible to bring this help because Germany, its enemies, could not use it. The rest of the room I was staying in was only one way to send the straits.

France and England were trying to occupy Istanbul, to cross the straits and to leave the Ottoman Empire out of the war. However, the enemy forces who could not conquer Istanbul made another plan and thought that they would pass the Gallipoli peninsula and clear all the Ottoman army on the banks of the Bosphorus.

The Ottoman navy was also discussing where to make the extraction and whether to intervene at the center or on the shore. The result was that the place would have to be stopped in the center of Saros Gulf.

But as a reserve force, the 19 Division Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal, who was in Bigali village, was thinking differently from the view of the army. According to Mustafa Kemal, the enemy was going to exile from the location of Arıburnu, and he had to intervene and repel the army immediately when the army was more offshore.

On the 25th of April, the ball and ship voices started to be heard at the 19th Division headquarters located in Bigali village. Mustafa Kemal was right. Enemy forces began to take off from exactly what he had predicted. Mustafa Kemal immediately informed the superiors of his situation and he was ordered to meet the soldiers and the soldiers with a battalion. However, the enemy was very crowded and definitely had to be stopped on the shore before proceeding to the center. Mustafa Kemal was caught between the enemy forces advancing rapidly on the one hand and the yandan order ö, the most basic concept of military service. The nation was supposed to make a decision on behalf of the future and gave it to me. Assuming all responsibility, without order, all 57th gave the order to operate.

On the morning of April 25, Mustafa Kemal advanced to Conkbayiri and was behind the 57th Regiment.

In the meantime, the enemy forces, landed on the shore of a small number of Turkish soldiers shore ashore and reached the top level of 261 which is the most dominant region. When the coastal area was lost, the soldiers started to flee, climbing towards Conkbayiri. Mustafa Kemal who saw the soldiers running escaped in the past made that speech. He describes this from his own words as follows:

? - Why are you running? I said.
- Sir, the enemy ...
- Where's the enemy?
- Here they are, showing the hill altitude 261.
Indeed, the enemy is close to me, my soldiers. I'm the enemy
If I come to the ground, my forces will be very bad. Is it always a logic, otherwise
With an instinct, I don't know, who fled:
- I said, the enemy doesn't run away.
- They said we had no ammunition.
- If we don't have ammunition, we have a sponge, and I'm shouting:
- I said, "Fuck the bayonet." I put it down. Erler lay on the ground, the enemy also lay on the ground.
The moment I win, this is the moment. Until the enemy decides what to do, the 57th Regiment
Arrived at Conkbayırı. Con

57.Alay soldiers came from there, when the enemy lay on the ground. 57. Alaya taaruz gave his order as follows: “I command you to die, not attack. Other troops and commanders will take our place in time until we die. Ün

He then told the other captain, who came to the area, that by taking a big risk, he wanted to complete the entire 19 th Division. Thus, the 27th Regiment began to attack against the enemy.

On April 25, 1915, on the first day of the Feast, the 57th Regiment gave a heroic battle against an army four to four times larger than him, and two thirds of the regiment died as a martyr. Major Hüseyin Avni was martyred during the collision. As the day wore, the enemy was cleared from the 261 Altitude Hill, the fate of a nation had changed with 3000 heroic soldiers.

Later, the surviving soldiers of the 57th Regiment were assigned to the Palestinian Front.

Even without the eye of the Turkish military commanders command the lives of God with the help of their lives to sacrifice their lives to read these stories even when you feel that emotion to feel the emotion of those visits to the martyrdom to visit the museums should not experience those emotions.
