Allied units that made the summit of Chunuk Bair early on 8 August 1915, to engage the Turks were: Wellington Battalion of the New Zealand and Australian Division, 7th Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment and 8th Battalion, Welch Regiment both of the British 13th (Western) Division; who were reached and reinforced in the afternoon by two squads of the Auckland Mounted Rifles Regiment, New Zealand and Australian Division. These first summit holders, decimated by withering fire, were relieved at 10:30 pm on 8 August by the Otago Battalion (NZ), and the Wellington Mounted Rifles Regiment New Zealand and Australian Division; who were in turn relieved by 8:00 pm on 9 August by the 6th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and 5th Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment who were massacred and driven off the summit in the early morning of 10 August by an Ottoman counter-attack led by Mustafa Kemal. The capture of Chunuk Bair, (Turkish: Çanak Bayır Basin Slope) (now Conk Bayırı), the secondary peak of the Sari Bair range, was one of the two objectives of the Battle of Sari Bair, the British August Offensive at ANZAC and Suvla, to try to break the stalemate that the campaign had become. The capture of Chunuk Bair was the only success for the Allies of the campaign but it was fleeting as the position proved untenable. The Ottomans recaptured the peak for good, a few days later."@en }
