11.01.2022 The Battle of Lone Pine, Gallipoli When Australian troops arrived at the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915, there was a ridge on which a solitary pine stood. Turkish troops had felled the area to fortify their trenches and the single pine stood out on the horizon. ... Soldiers used it as a reference point and the area became known as Lone Pine. It was even the subject of a popular wartime song, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. On August 6, 1915, the 1st Brigade AIF (Australian Imperial Force) launched a diversionary offensive at Lone Pine ridge. The main Turkish trench was taken within 20 minutes but over the following four days of hand-to-hand fighting more than 2,000 Australians were killed along with an estimated 7,000 Turks. The Australians gained vital ground, although the overall Gallipoli campaign proved unsuccessful. LEST WE FORGET
