Lone Pine Cemetery, originally small and containing only forty six graves, was enlarged after the Armistice by relocating many of the scattered battlefield graves in the area and those removed from Brown’s Dip North and Brown’s Dip South Cemeteries that were originally located near the head of Victoria Gully. Today the cemetery contains 1167 graves, of which 651 are Australian, two New Zealand, fifteen sailors, soldiers or marines from the UK and 499 men who could not be identified. There are special memorial tablets in the cemetery that commemorate the names of 182 Australians and one from the UK who are believed to be buried in this cemetery.

Amongst the burials is Private Victor Pinkstone (III.B.55), 3/AIF, who died in his brother’s arms on 7 August at Lone Pine. Another burial is that of 2/AIF battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel R. Scobie (Sp.Mem.C.132), who was killed during a Turkish counter attack at Lone Pine on 6 August. There are many other 1 (Australian) Brigade burials here from that battle.

Within the grounds of the cemetery is the Lone Pine Memorial that commemorates 4,936 Australian and New Zealand⁴¹ servicemen who died in the Anzac area and whose graves are either not known or who were buried at sea.

There are many names on the memorial that relate to the August Offensive, amongst whom is New Zealand born Captain Alfred Shout VC MC (Panel 12), 1/AIF, who received a Military Cross for gallantry during the Anzac landings and in the fighting at Lone Pine was awarded the Victoria Cross. On 9 August, during the action, he was mortally wounded by a bomb that prematurely exploded in his hand. He died on a hospital ship and was buried at sea. Another of the Lone Pine VCs commemorated here is Corporal Alex Burton, 7/AIF (Panel 28), who was killed early on 9 August whilst defending a barricaded sap. Another Lone Pine casualty is Lieutenant Hubert Meager (Panel 19), 3/AIF, whose last words when mortally wounded were; ‘Go on, boys; don’t mind me’. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander White, 8/LHR (Panel 5), and many of his men from the disastrous charge at The Nek are named here, as are those from 10/LHR (Panels 5-10), which include the Harper brothers, Trooper Wilfred Harper and Trooper Gresley Harper, the inspiration for the main characters in Peter Weir’s film Gallipoli. Other Australian Light Horse casualties include those who fell on Dead Man’s Ridge, such as Major James Reid and Lieutenant Burdett Nettleton, both on Panel 1. Nettleton’s hip flask turned up in Turkey some years ago, which was probably souvenired from the body. New Zealander Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Bauchop, Otago Mounted Rifles, is also remembered here (Panel 72). He was mortally wounded during the bayonet charge on the hill that was named after him.
