Turkish Gun at Anzac Hill


A plaque alongside the restored German-made Turkish gun displays the following text:

Maldon Sub-Branch Returned Services League Bicentennial Year Project - 1988

Restoration of German-made Turkish Gun used against Australian Forces at Gallipoli in 1915.

Assisted by generous contributions from the citizens of Maldon.

According to Monument Australia: The associated plaque states that the gun was captured on Gallipoli, but it is unlikely that this is correct.
