It contains the remains of Allied soldiers killed during the Battle of Gallipoli.
It was constructed on a spur which was named by the occupying troops after the headquarters of the New Zealand Infantry Brigade, under the command of Brigadier-General Harold Walker, which was located there.
The cemetery was formed during the occupation in 1915 and is divided into two plots 20 metres apart and originally separated by a trench.
Amongst the graves is that of 23-year-old Trooper Harold Rush of the 10th Australian Light Horse regiment.
Rush was in the third wave of troops to charge Turkish trenches at the battle of the Nek on 7 August 1915.
