2. General Ian Hamilton wrote in his preface to "Crusading at Anzac, A.D. 1915," by Signaller Ellis Silas: "As the man who first, seeking to save himself trouble, omitted the five full stops and brazenly coined the word "Anzac," I am glad to write a line or two in preface to sketches which may help to give currency to that token throughout the realms of glory." In compiling this list of place-names and their origins, the aim has been to set down only those names that were generally accepted and used at Anzac. Official trench maps, operation orders, books, pamphlets, and captured Turkish maps have been searched and verified. I am greatly indebted to the work of my friend Sapper Moore-Jones in his unrivalled "Sketches Made at Anzac." Besides being works of art, these sketches are particularly valuable as showing in faithful detail the land features of the Anzac area, with many of the place-names in use during the operations. It is not necessary to burden this volume with a complete Turkish dictionary, but the following words, with their equivalents in English, may be found of value:-- Bair Spur Biyuk Large Burnu Cape Chair Meadow Dagh Mountain Dere Valley with stream Kale Fort Kuchuk Small Kuyu Well Ova Plain Sirt A Summit Tepe Hill Tekke Shrine Abdel Rahman Bair.--The great northern spur of the Sari Bair range. Anafarta.--(1) The Turkish name for the Suvla front. (2) There are two villages inland from Suvla Bay called Biyuk Anafarta and Kuchuk Anafarta. (3) A long-range gun firing from the hills was called "Anafarta Annie." Anzac.--Formed from the initial letters of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. First used (written A. and N.Z.A.C.) in Egypt, when the Army Corps was formed. It soon became A.N.Z.A.C., and the new word was so obvious that the full stops were omitted. Anzac Cove.--The little bay where the principal landing was made on April 25, 1915. The Apex.--High up on Rhododendron Spur, and the furthest point inland retained by the Anzac forces after the attack on Chunuk Bair. An earlier name, little used, was "The Mustard Plaster." Ari Burnu.--The northern horn of Anzac Cove. The Turk called the Anzac area the Ari Burnu front. Asma Dere.--One of the upper reaches of the Azmak Dere, starting in the foothills of the Abdel Rahman Bair. Azmak Dere.--A watercourse leading from Biyuk Anafarta, running to the south of Ismail Oglu Tepe and debouching on to the Suvla flats. There is another Azmak flowing into the north of the Salt Lake at Suvla. Australian Valley.--One of the northern branches of the Aghyl Dere, named after the 4th Australian Infantry Brigade. Baby 700.--A Turkish position between The Nek and Battleship Hill. Battleship Hill.--High ground within the Turkish lines between Baby 700 and Chunuk Bair. Turkish reserves sheltered behind it, and were frequently shelled by the warships.
