Kemal Atatürk Memorial, Canberra, Historic memorial site at ANZAC Parade, Canberra, Australia.
The memorial features a crescent-shaped wall with a bronze likeness of Atatürk on a circular paved area facing the Australian War Memorial.
The site commemorates Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who commanded Turkish forces against ANZAC troops during the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign of World War One.
This memorial represents a symbol of reconciliation between Turkey and Australia, with soil from Gallipoli battlefields placed in a time capsule beneath.
Visitors can access the memorial every day and observe the surrounding pine trees grown from seeds collected from the original Gallipoli lone pine.
The memorial stands as the only tribute to a former adversary commander on ANZAC Parade, featuring inscriptions in both English and Turkish.
